A resident lies in a urine-soaked bed at the Durban and Coastal Mental Health's Sherwood residence. Managers have acknowledged that some service providers are unhappy. File PhotoKwaZulu-Natal social development MEC Nonhlanhla Khoza has appointed a team to help root out problems at the embattled Durban and Coastal Mental Health ,This followed an unannounced visit she made along with department head Nelisiwe Vilkazi to its Sherwood residential facility which houses about 80 residents.
Management said a new service provider had been appointed but could not show her any menu lists or specifications of meals to be provided.Khoza said she was shocked and concerned at the apparent collapse of operations. “It is shocking to see how the board has run the affairs in that institution. The appointment of service providers who have no contracts is one of the concerns. The institution is unable to perform its responsibility very well. It is clear that there has been mismanagement and misappropriation of funds in the institution,” she said.
“We need to see this board having a turnaround strategy. There are unforgivable things that are taking place in this institution. We are not going to leave this matter unattended because the end users are going to suffer,” she said. “The inefficiencies of a bloated management structure have also brought the institution to its knees. The department will be working with the board to fix the problems facing this institution.
Oh gosh not this again..... Shocked then what after? Will something be done?
What exactly shocked the MEC ,nxl
