  10. The health sector has to seek greater efficiency andimprove financial management - Mid Term Budget Statement 2012 Page 29 • No increase in MTEF for the public sector • There is no expansion in personnel budget over three years (after compensation increase) • In fact there is a slight decline • BUT planning training of doctors and health professionals is a medium – long term issue and must be managed in times of financial constraint • We cannot afford a repeat of the 1996 – 2000 squeeze on academic clinician appointments, AHCs and health professional development • Need to plan carefully and have good information on HRH – we do not have this

  11. Table 4 Number Implications of 5% Expansion to 2025

  12. Table 5 Implications of 5% expansion for ratio per 1000 popn

  13. Options to consider in MBChB & health professionals expansion – requires close co-operation with DHET • Ensure existing faculties of health sciences, especially medical schools are operating at full capacity (intake in some faculties for all the professions is low ) • Ensure quality of output for all faculties and efficiency of throughput • Expand existing medical schools which have capacity • Expand existing medical schools through extending the service training platform to rural & peri-urban areas (Eastern Cape, Limpopo, North West, Kimberly, and Mpumalanga) • Establish one or more new undergraduate medical schools and/or faculties of health sciences • Extend postgraduate training to private sector service sites, and teaching arrangements by private academic clinicians in the public sector • Explore the feasibility of the development of Public Private Partnerships for a service platform for undergraduate training in areas of need, for example the Eastern Cape and even in urban areas (reduce cost of training on the public sector)
