  1. FREE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: EPWP INCENTIVE GRANT PRESENTER: DR S KABANE HEAD - HEALTH

  2. 1. BACKGROUND • Free State submitted a business plan to National Public Works Department in March 2011. • The funding requested was R15,586,000.00. • The target was 948 Home Based Carers to benefit from this fund. • The Memorandum of Agreement was then signed to pay a minimum wage rate of R55 per person day of work.

  3. 2. BUDGET • The third tranche was due in October 2011, but withheld. • The reasons advanced were the alleged non-compliance to ministerial determination. • There was a requirement that we pay R60 per person per day instead of the agreed R55 per person per day

  4. 3. REASONS FOR UNDER EXPENDITURE • A meeting was held with Public Works on the 21 November 2011 to discuss the alleged non-compliance. • A resolution was reached that it was an over sight of Public Works in the MOA. • It was also resolved that DoH will increase the wage from R55 to R60. • FSDOH had made provision for the stipend increases • During the suspension, internal funds were utilised to pay the stipend for the continuity of service delivery. • The third tranche was later transferred in January 2012 and the last tranche was transferred in February 2012.

  5. 3. REASONS FOR UNDER EXPENDITURE - CONTINUED • The third and fourth transfer were eventually received on the fourth quarter of 2011/12. • This was the period for the closure of the financial year. • The funds could not be journalised back to the internal funding. • The total expenditure at the end of the financial year was R11 481060.00 [77%] • The total target of beneficiaries was reached at 948 as per approved MOA and Business Plan.

  6. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS • MOAs for EPWP and Business Plans should be closely analysed before implementation. • Reports from Provinces should be closely monitored by Public Works. • Treasury to open a separate bank account for donations and grants so that they are not affected by internal processes. • Need to avoid changes to Business Plans that have wider implications for the implementing Departments [R3,9m to equalise stipends] • Consistency in funding: 2012 funding R7.5m an almost 50% decrease. The carers are still paid from our equitable share
