The South African Communist Party in the Eastern Cape has called on the Department of Health to withdraw a tender of chronic mental health services in the province. 

SACP said the decision to outsource this service will lead to the collapse of the current service provided by the Psychiatric centres given the challenges they are facing. 

SACP EC Provincial Spokesperson Siyabonga Mdodi said they are supportive of the committee’s rejection of the outsourcing of the important services needed by the people.

“This tender as advertised will cost people of the Eastern Cape R100 million a year; R300 million for this three year contract, and ultimately over R1 billion over the course of ten years” Mdodi added.
