The Health Department in Gauteng has vowed to ensure that the outstanding salaries of more than 50 newly qualified nurses in the province would be paid from Monday.
Hospersa has raised concerns about Health Minister Joe Phaahla’s announcement this week that the department’s budget was expected to decrease by 2% over the next two financial years and the impact thereof on nursing staff.
GCIS Director General Phumla Williams said it was unfortunate that the very same people who went beyond the call of duty to save lives were harmed and stolen from.
