16 FOREWORD BY THE MEC It is my pleasure to present the 2012/13 annual report of the Department of Health, Limpopo, for the period 01 April 2012 to 31 March 2013, in compliance with Section 40 of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999). The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa imposes on us the responsibility to provide quality and accessible healthcare services. This requires of us to design and execute programmes geared towards ensuring universal access to quality and uninterrupted healthcare services by all our citizens regardless of their socio-economic conditions. This report provides progress on the 2012/13 annual performance plan as well as the overall departmental performance against the set targets for the financial year. It therefore gives a reflection on what has and what has not been achieved, and some of the underlying constraints to guide future planning. The Department will continue to prioritize interventions aimed at achieving the outputs defined in the Negotiated Service Delivery Agreement (NSDA) for Outcome 2: A long and health life for all South Africans, namely, increasing life expectancy, decreasing maternal and child mortality, combating HIV and AIDS and decreasing the burden of disease from Tuberculosis and Strengthening Health System effectiveness (output 4). During the financial year under review the Department made significant strides to achieve a number of outputs and outcomes, including the following: o Worked with key stakeholders to market and promote awareness about the NHI, and launched Facility Improvement Teams (FITs) to assess the status of health infrastructure and make proposals for the necessary improvements. o Accelerated access and provision of quality Primary Health Care services by increasing the number of healthcare facilities rendering 24 hours services, improving the PHC facilities supervisory rate and increasing the resident doctor rate. o Intensified Maternal, Child and Women s Health (MCWH) and Nutrition services by continuing to roll out the Integrated School Health Programme and increasing the immunisation coverage of children under 1 year. o Increased Cervical Cancer screening coverage and intensified prevention and disease control through anti-malaria indoor residual spraying o Intensified the combating of HIV and AIDS and decreasing the burden of disease from Tuberculosis by testing more pregnant women for HIV, initiating patients on Lifelong ART, recording improvement on HIV testing rate and TB treatment success rate. o Provided more accommodation units for health professionals and appointed suitably qualified CEOs for hospitals in the province /13 Annual Report

17 2012/13 Annual Report Vote 7: Limpopo Department of Health The year under review will also be remembered for many challenges with which we were hamstrung in our quest to deliver quality and uninterrupted healthcare services, some of which are: o General under-funding of the Department. o Shortage of some medicines due to funding constraints, especially during the last three months or quarter of 2012/13 financial year. o Inadequate funding of compensation of employees. o Fast deteriorating infrastructure in some facilities which create conditions not conducive to providing effective and efficient healthcare services. The Department is committed to refocusing priorities to interventions aimed at making positive progress towards achieving its five-year strategic goals. In this respect, the following outcomes are targeted for the financial year 2013/14: o Improved quality of and access to healthcare services o Improved realisation of the Department s objectives o Improved accountability on financial resources, which should result in well-funded and managed healthcare services o Reduced Morbidity and Mortality as well as improved patient care The Department recognises the contribution of all health sector stakeholders, including civil society, in the achievement of the progress reported in this annual performance report. Performance improvements were also made possible by the multitude of all categories of health workers in the sector, sometimes working under challenging conditions, especially in the rural and hard-to-reach parts of the Province. I commend the dedicated and productive health workers and also implore those health workers whose work ethics, behaviour and conduct hold back sector progress, and appeal to them to improve. Notwithstanding all that we have planned to implement and achieve in 2013/14, it has to be borne in mind that there are variables that are and will always remain beyond the control of the Department due to the nature of resources, capacity and other challenges confronting our healthcare system. However, I remain confident that through sound managerial and leadership practices, the support of all sector stakeholders, and building on the lessons drawn from previous financial years performance, we will achieve our set targets.

18 7. OVERVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER The Public Finance Management Act and other related pieces of legislation bestows on me as the accounting officer, the responsibility to account on annual basis on both the progress made and the challenges encountered in the process of executing our service delivery plans articulated in our Annual Performance Plan. In line with this responsibility and through this Annual Report, I hereby present the progress made by the Department in the Financial Year 2012/13 and the challenges encountered in the execution of this responsibility. We entered the financial Year 2012/13 with the clear mandate to carry forward the commitment we have made in previous financial years for the attainment of optimal and sustainable health care service to the people of Limpopo. This we have done with the support of the National Department of Health, which intervened through the section 100 (1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of The support of the intervention team in the key focus areas of Learning and Organisational Realignment; Human Resources Management; Governance and Financial Management; Pharmaceutical Supplies Management; and Infrastructure Management was instrumental in the achievements reported in this report. The Annual Performance Plan was geared towards attaining the outcomes and objectives of both Social Cluster Programme of Action and the Negotiated Service Delivery Agreement (NSDA) of the Health Sector. In this regard we made a remarkable progress to achieve the following outcomes: Increasing Life Expectancy; Decreasing Maternal and Child mortality; Combating HIV and AIDS and decreasing the burden of diseases from Tuberculosis; and Strengthening Health System Effectiveness In order to strengthen health system effectiveness the Department engaged in Primary Health Care re-engineering process and valuable progress has been recorded in this regard. The District Specialist Teams (DSTs) have been appointed in the financial year 2012/13 as part of the re-engineering process. We have also ensured appointment of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) in most of the hospitals so as to ensure strategic institutional leadership. We strongly hold that this will go a long way in addressing the challenge of lack of strategic leadership has negatively affected our facilities in the previous financial year. The department has worked hard to combat HIV and AIDS and decrease the burden of disease from Tuberculosis by among others:- Number of male medical circumcisions performed has been increased /13 Annual Report

19 Ensuring that all ARV sites are fully functional Improving our DOT support programme Using the GenExpert machines to improve detection and early diagnosis of TB patients Although more work has been done to ensure achievement of targets set in the Annual Performance Plan, the financial year 2012/13 was not immune from challenges. These challenges included:- Shortage of staff and particularly health professionals Budgetary constraints Infrastructural challenges Shortage of drugs and surgical sundries We have no doubt that the interventions we have sought in trying to resolve some of these noted challenges will go a long way to impact positively in the next financial year and beyond. The noted progress will serve as a necessary foundation upon which future planning will be based. The progress recorded could not have been possible without the efforts, dedication and support of the staff in the Department. I commend the commitment of the Executive Management, the entire staff and the Administration Intervention Team to providing a better health care service to the people of our Province. Dr S. Kabane HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Date /13 Annual Report 19

This was unavoidable expenditure and there were no other funds to be shifted to increase the compensation of employees. R2.7m under transfers and subsidies was due to payments of leave gratuities which are always unpredictable due to unexpected death Programme 3: Emergency Medical Services The savings of R0.9m was due to delays in the payment process and implementation of austerity measures Programme 4: Provincial Hospital Services The savings of R1.1m was due to the delays in the payment benefits to Health Professionals in Provincial Hospitals Programme 5: Central Hospital The savings of R0.4m was due to the delays in the payments of committed machinery and equipment for NTSG conditional grant Programme 6: Health Science and Training The under expenditure of R27.0m was due to savings in Nursing College grant and Health Professional Training Conditional Grants due to delays in training of Health Professionals and austerity measures Programme 7: Health Care Support The over expenditure in the inventory medicine was caused by shortfall that emanates from medicine shortage in the beginning of the financial year resulting in more stock required to meet the required target stock level. R121 million accruals from 2011/12 financial year were also paid from the current budget resulting in the shortfall. The medicine problem was well communicated with Provincial Treasury before the 2012/13 Annual Report 89

90 adjustment, and Provincial Treasury made available R42 million for spending but was later withdrawn as second adjustment could not be passed Health Facilities Management The savings of R65.1million was due to earmarked funding for boiler repairs that was not fully utilised and the project is still underway hence a request for the rollover of funds was made. The remaining R10.9million savings was due under spending in Health Infrastructure Grant and Hospital Revitalisation Grant as a result of payment system challenges in the last days of payment processing Summary of Departmental variation analyses The Department over spent in compensation of employees due to carried over of R140m accruals for 2011/12 financial year to 2012/13 financial year. The effort for implementing of cost containment was made by the Department where all retired, transferred and resigned staff members on support services were not replaced. The pay progression and performance bonuses for 2011/12 financial year were not paid, which will put pressure to the 2013/14 financial year budget. The Department showed this compensation pressure from June 2012/13 financial year when submitting the IYM to Provincial Treasury. These were unavoidable expenditure after all effort by Department as other services were stopped after adjustments in order to increase compensation of employees. The savings in goods and services was due to earmarked funding for boilers and repairs that was not fully utilised, and the projects are still underway hence the for the rollover was requested. The overspending in transfers was mostly due to payments of leave gratuities under households which are unpredictable. The savings in capital payments was due to under spending in Provincial grant and Hospital Revitalisation conditional grants as a result of payment system challenges Transfer payments, excluding public entities The table below reflects the transfer payments made for the period 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 Name of transferee Vhembe district Municipality Capricorn District Municipality Purpose for which the funds were used Devolution of Environmental Health services Devolution of Environmental Health services Compliance with s 38 (1) (j) of the PFMA Amount transferred (R 000) Amount spent by the entity Reasons for the funds unspent by the entity Yes 2,184 2,184 N/A Yes 3,554 3,554 N/A TOTAL 5,738 5,738 N/A /13 Annual Report
