  12. ADJUSTED ESTIMATES 2009/2010 • The National Department shifted funds within programmes, mainly from Goods and services, after a thorough review and alignment as a result of the drive ( by the Finance Minister) to cut and save costs from travel & subsistence, conferencing as well as consultancy services. • Identified funding was then moved to provide for new priority areas as per the new Ten Point Plan.

  13. MTEF BUDGET PROPOSALS. For the current MTEF budget bids process, the Department took a resolution, in order to stabilize the health sector, to focus on the following critical funding areas which are part of the ten point plan as well as for strengthening of the public health services: - Full funding of ALL OSD categories. Fully funding of “warm bodies”: Compensation of Employees, to deal with the over expenditure. - Adequate funding of the ART programme. - Adequate funding of the Blood Services (SANBS) and the laboratory services (NHLS). 13
