Premier Panyaza Lesufi is expected to deliver his first state of the province address on Monday.
“Our service providers, particularly those who do business with the department of health, do not receive payment for services on time. This means our hospitals will have essential services withheld.”“Our hospitals have an enormous backlog of surgeries, with some patients waiting for as long as five years. The Thembisa Hospital is facing immense pressure because there is no hospital in Kempton Park.
“Our residents need to know what progress has been made in finding a suitable site for a new hospital and when this will be completed.”Msimanga said the upgrading of township informal settlements and hostels also needed to be done across the province.

We cannot just talk about upgrading hospitals and building new schools when there is no budget for it,”
