In 2018, the NHLS said it had made progress with two major challenges - improving its revenue collection from provinces and tackling historic debts."The picture is not rosy, but with the current levels of payments and pending agreements [on historic debt] the NHLS is in a better financial position than it was last year," Business Day quoted board chairman Eric Buch as saying.
