  18. ACHIEVEMENTS • The region is managing to roll out Programmes though the resources are scarce • Waterval management Area is in the process of being accredited CHALLENGES • There is only 2 permanent members and one coordinator on contract for this sub directorate who are serving 42 Correctional Centres • The rest of 5 management Areas are working on ad hoc basis • All 42 Centre Coordinators are rendering the service on an ad hoc basis • Lack of training funds and resources

  19. Percentage of Offenders and ATDs with Mental Illness v/s Total Offender Population with Mental Illness Successes • KZN Region participates in Mental Health intersectoral meetings and more partnerships established • Protocols for the management of psychotic patients in place • Management areas have mental health awareness campaigns • Mental health care users have easy access to treatment • Psychiatrist render treatment within the facility only in Dbn, Pmb other areas are still not catered for • Medication for mentally ill offenders is administered Challenges • Non availability of psychiatrist services within the facility at Waterval, Ncome, Empangeni, Kokstad and Glencoe • Intermittent long waiting lists at DOH facilities for observations cases. (Sometimes such offenders are not manageable within DCS facilities.) • Not all health care providers are trained/qualified in psychiatric health care services • Custodial staff not trained or orientated in mental health Psychiatric Services not readily available at the other sister departments, eg. SAPS • Hence ATDs and offenders for further investigations default treatment with a risk of a relapse

  20. OFFENDERS ON MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (EXLD. HIV AND AIDS), BP, ASTHMA, EPILEPSY, ARTHRITIS AND DIABETES V/S TOTAL OFFENDER POPULATION. PERCENTAGE Successes • All management areas have peer educators who promote awareness on communicable diseases and health lifestyle • All centres enjoy the services of a visiting doctor • There are weekly to monthly awareness campaigns at centre and unit levels • More internal and external stakeholder involvement at regional, management area and centre levels Challenges • Shortage of health care providers at centre level as well as the current moratorium on the filling of posts, about 27% posts are vacant • No adequate stakeholder involvement on training and updates • There is still a high number of natural deaths in the region • Low health care staff morale

  21. RISKS: PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES There has been no evident success in this area • There is only one permanent pharmacist appointed in the region and one community service pharmacist. • When the pharmacist is not available, eg. on leave, etc. the pharmacy must be closed and contributes to the high number of medicines that expire • There are 5 vacant pharmacist posts in the region, lack of counter offers, is the main contributory factor in this regard • There has been a major challenge with regard to the shortage of some basic medication at centre level mainly because of the none supply by suppliers and general shortage of pharmacists • Most centres/units are making use of private pharmacies to obtain medicines for sick offenders at a much higher price

  22. RISKS: PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES (CONT.) • The following solutions have either been proposed to HO or implemented in the Region • Issuing of Section 38A permits for professional nurses to can examine, dispense and treat sick offenders in the absence of doctors and pharmacists as provided for by the Nursing Act • Offering of the Dispensing Course for 25 professional nurses by the University of Pretoria • 8 nurses in the region are undergoing a Primary Health Care at their own time and expense at different Tertiary Institutions • Private pharmacies are utilized for urgent prescriptions but at a very high cost • A proposal to utilize pharmacists on a sessional basis has however been rejected by HO, and such could have gone a long way in addressing the current shortages on a short term and long term basis

  23. QUALITY ASSURED PROGRAMMES
