General Trends in Conditional Grants • Reflecting over the past three years the big challenges are with • Integrated Nutrition • Provincial Infrastructure • Hospital Revitilisation • The implementation of the Basic Accounting System in 2004/5 provided a challenge to manage expenditure • It is hoped that this year the BAS will be used to empower managers to manage budgets and control expenditure better.
Assessment of Monitoring Capacity • During the past financial year implementation of the BAS made it difficult to monitor expenditure. • Budgets were decentralised and the journals/reconciliation of expenditure was always lagging behind because of system problem • The approval of Roll Over on capital was approved in November which is a bit late • Some Business Plans were not properly aligned • The role of Department of Public Works and Local Municipalities ( Tender processes and capacity to deliver with Municipalities)
Assessment of Monitoring Capacity • The following Mechanisms are now in place • All conditional Grants to be spend based on approved Business Plans • A Programme Manager has been allocated to manage each Conditional Grant supported by a Managerial accountant to support the monitoring of spending trends • The Executive Management to present a full progress report to the MEC: Health once a month • A Provincial Steering Committee meets monthly to monitor implementation especially of Capital Projects • Full report to be presented at the Quarterly Review meeting • Work closely with National Departments
Progress on Business Plans for 2005/06 • The status of Business Plans for the 2005/06 on conditional grants is as follows • National Tertiary Services – Service Level Agreement submitted • Health Professions Training and Development – Business Plans submitted • Hospital Management and Quality Improvement- Business Plans submitted • Hospital Revitilisation : - Project Implementation Plan submitted • Integrated Nutrition Programme -Business Plans submitted • Infrastructure – Infrastructure Plan approved • HIV and AIDS Health - Business Plans submitted
Challenges • To monitor the spending trends and be proactive • To ensure that the department of Public Works and Local Municipalities can deliver on their part ( Signing of Service Level Agreement is proposed) • Some Capital Projects extends over MTEF years; expenditure reflects a trend over multi years which is often not captured in reporting • Coordination of reports from receiving departments • Logis on Line and BAS Implementation
Conclusion • The FSDOH will improve on the monitoring of the expenditure on Conditional Grants in 2005/06 as indicated. • The expenditure on Capital Projects to be monitored as a progress on a Managed Project rather that quarterly projected expenditure . • The support of the Select Committee on Finance is appreciated
