Jack Bloom, DA member of the provincial legislature, sounded the alarm over these late payments by the department. “Towards the end of the financial year which ends on March 31, there is always a ‘dry season’ because the [Gauteng] department of health is short of funds and it carries over to the new year,” said Bloom.“It boils down to inefficiency and insensitivity to NGOs who constantly struggle with cash flow problems.
Scholtz said the late payments resulted in staff members having to buy necessities from their own pockets. She said the main issue between NGOs and the department was how they were paid. They are often paid six to eight weeks after they submitted their claims. According to Scholtz, their monthly operational costs are more than what the government subsidy. However, it did help towards looking after the patients.
“The current established NGOs, which have been providing residential care to persons with mental health conditions for decades, have used up all their reserves and donations to provide care for which government is responsible. Government is failing its most marginalised citizens once again,” Patel said.
“It is unclear what system exists for the funding of the care of mental healthcare users in provinces. The Western Cape is the only province that ensures proper and adequate funding to NGOs which are therefore able to provide dignified care to mental healthcare users,” she said.The Gauteng health department said under normal circumstances, NGOs were paid their subsidies on time.
