The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa in the Eastern Cape today said healthcare workers pleas are still going unnoticed. 

This follows the provincial department of health’s not speedily resolving the non-payment of health workers at Amathole District.  Denosa said the owed money goes back as far as 2009. 

Provincial Secretary of Denosa in the Eastern Cape Koliswa Tota said they are appealing to the National Department of Health to intervene urgently as the situation is getting out of hand.

Tota adds that the Department of Health in the Eastern Cape is not taking the employees seriously.

“They have been promising to pay them at the end of last year with their back-logs and accruals; overtime allowances, night duty allowances, performance allowances and rural allowances” Tota said.

Tota said the allowances have not been paid properly since 2008 in the Eastern Cape.
