9. Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process. Parliament approved assistance measures for victims identified in terms of the Truth and Reconciliation process. The Committee is pleased that at long last almost all outstanding beneficiaries have been traced and the reparations paid. The Department reports, therefore, that its focus has shifted to finalising and implementing the regulations seeking to implement outstanding TRC recommendations. The Department has engaged the Independent Development Trust (IDT) to conduct a needs analysis and project manage the Community Rehabilitation regulations. The process has started with consultations in Mamelodi and Alexandria. Draft regulations relating to Higher Education were submitted to the Ministers of Higher Education and Finance for comment. Similarly, draft regulations relating to medical benefits were submitted to the Ministers of Health and Finance. The Minister of Health is reported to have indicated that he is satisfied but the Minister of Finance has proposed a new model. Further research must be done. There have been discussions with the Department of Housing and it may be that the National Housing Code may render the regulations unnecessary. A needs analysis of victims must be undertaken before policy decisions can be made. The Committee accepts that although the Department is responsible for the regulations, these relate and will need to be implemented by other line-function departments. The full support of these departments is necessary. The Committee notes too that, in light of the limited funds available, the high expectations of victims pose further difficulties for the Department. Still, the Committee remains extremely displeased that the outstanding regulations are not yet finalised and requests the Minister's intervention in this regard. It asks the Department to provide a report on progress to date, with time frames, by 19 July 2013 and that the Department continues to brief it quarterly on progress.
