Four managers at the North West health department have been suspended after expired medication was found at the medical depot, the department said on Tuesday.
“The purpose of the precautionary suspension is to make sure that the managers’ presence at work does not hinder the investigation. The concerned managers are therefore placed on precautionary suspension with immediate effect,” said spokesman Tebogo Lekgethwane.
The allegations against the managers include, among others, dereliction of duty in failing to make timeouts payments to service providers and alleged unfair labour practices. “Furthermore, the investigation will look into possible failure to set up systems for managing pharmaceutical services, failure to set up systems for timely payments to the pharmaceutical service providers and failure to correct disparities in salaries of the depot staff despite staff members performing same responsibilities,” he said.
