Department is committed to paying suppliers
19 Jan 2012
The Gauteng Department of Health and Social Development has noted a statement issued by the South African Medical Device Industry Association (SAMED) stating that we owe money to their members and we acknowledge these debts.
MEC Ntombi Mekgwe met with suppliers late last year where she assured them that the department is committed to ensuring that they receive all monies owed to them for services offered to the department.
In an effort to reduce accruals, a team has been set up between Gauteng Department of Finance and the department to attend to the issue of accruals of the department.
The issue of reducing accruals will be dealt with in phases with the intention that most accruals will be cleared by 30 June 2012.
