... on nurses and doctors in these centres to treat everyone equally, irrespective of social or economic standing. We make a special plea to the private sector, unlike the DA, which does not see itself as part and parcel of, or partaking in, our efforts to ensure that our services are good. We therefore make this plea to the private sector to ensure that they maintain and provide human dignity, a dignity that is inherent in all of us.
The ANC again calls on the private sector to partner with the ANC-led government to build a healthy society. [Interjections.] When people don't have party headquarters, they tend to scream about things they know nothing about. They even quote the ANC Polokwane resolutions because, firstly, they fail to conduct their own conferences; secondly, they don't know the definition of a resolution; and lastly, they don't know what needs to be done at the conference except discussing the ANC. That is why they have a lot of information. [Applause.]
To build a healthy society, the ANC believes that health is not and can never be a commodity - and this if for your attention, DA - for commercialisation. Together, and this includes the DA, we can help our people to change their habits and live long. The ANC supports the 2011-12 fiscal framework and revenue proposals. It would be much better for the poor if in this august House we were level-headed and able to understand the policies of the ANC.
