Therefore, we are happy to announce that the Government Employees Medical Scheme, Gems, continues to grow and play a critical role in our efforts to build a healthy Public Service. Gems' membership has been increasing remarkably. In 2012, the figure rose to 662 469. Of this figure, 207 000 were Public Service employees on levels 1 to 5. Our target for 2013 is 750 000 principal members, of whom 250 000 should be employees on salary levels 1 to 5.
