Allocations to Provincial and Local Governments

Explanatory Memorandum to the Allocations set out in the attached Schedule

Changes to gazetted allocations

 

23. Details per municipality of the changes to allocations for the municipal disaster recovery grant, regional bulk infrastructure grant and the water services infrastructure grant that have been described in part 2 of this memorandum will be gazetted. These changes per municipality are shown in annexures 4, 5 and 6.

 

24. Details of the changes per provincial department for allocations for the national health insurance indirect grant for provinces are shown in Appendix 1. These changes relate to the conversion of health facility revitalisation grant allocation from Schedule 6, Part A (indirect) to Schedule 5, Part A (direct) that was described in part 2 of this memorandum. Furthermore, the allocation for the health facility revitalisation component of the national health insurance indirect grant has been reduced by R200 million, these funds will be shifted to the health professionals contracting component of the same grant.

 

25. This will alleviate spending pressures emanating from the payment of private general practitioners contracted to work in primary healthcare facilities as well as the increased enrolment of patients to the Centralised Chronic Medicines Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD). The reduction of the health facility revitalisation component budget will be accommodated by delaying non-critical infrastructure projects and prudent project and expenditure management. Details per province of the changes to the schools infrastructure backlogs grant allocations relate to the anticipated underspending in this grant.
