Why is HealthZA appointing 44 new NHI positions when the Bill hasn’t been signed into law? Find out. | via Bhekisisa_MG
, as they won’t be allowed to provide cover for the services that the NHI covers.
“Some of these positions are very senior and shortlisted applicants would have to go through various screening programmes and writing of tests, so I’m not expecting that we will be making appointments before December. But we will hopefully have at least some of the posts filled by the start of the 2023 calendar year and the rest by February and March,” Crisp says.
“One might argue why was I appointed as deputy director-general to implement the NHI before the bill was passed? The answer is: because somebody’s got to lead the definition and design of the process. You need an administrative process to be able to sustain whatever comes out of the parliamentary decision-making process.”
Crisp argues: “We haven’t been able to inform people what benefits the scheme will offer because we haven’t had positions in place to appoint people who can design those benefits. We can’t even do the business structure. So it’s a Catch-22: what do you do first, appoint people to do that with available funds, or wait for the bill to become law without knowing what those benefits will be?”
