“Such a use of public funds without providing corresponding services is a matter of concern. Responsible financial management is crucial to ensure that resources are utilised effectively.”“It is disconcerting that no disciplinary actions have been taken against the involved employees, and the likelihood of future actions remains uncertain. This situation highlights the challenges faced in holding individuals accountable for their responsibilities,” she said.
“It is worth noting that the Orsmond Tuberculosis Hospital possesses valuable medical equipment, including an X-ray machine, which could be better utilised in other facilities to enhance healthcare services,” she said. “The outgoing Health Ombudsman has expressed disappointment with the actions of the Eastern Cape Department of Health. The ongoing mismanagement of finances, resources, and the lack of actions towards non-compliant employees raise concerns for the future. The residents of the Eastern Cape deserve a healthcare system that operates efficiently and ensures their well-being,” she concluded.
