The Department of Health is scrambling to avoid a stand-off with nurses who have threatened to work in their own clothes if a dispute over the provision of uniforms is not resolved.
But this ended on 31 March this year, after a new agreement was signed in the Public Health and Social Development Sectoral Bargaining Council in terms of which they would get uniforms instead.
Islamic medical association says proposed headscarf ban for nurses 'feels like an attack on our belief' "Provincial heads are responsible for participating and facilitating in tender processes through the bid specification in terms of colour, fabric composition and garment, development, review of the policy and monitoring and evaluation," Buthelezi wrote.
From January 2026, when they would have both years' issue, nurses would be expected to wear the new uniforms every day.Delihlazo said they proposed if the department was unable to supply the uniform by 1 October, it must pay nurses an allowance as before.
