Gauteng Simphiwe Gada said we of the view that an investigation into this
matter is necessary as it is a matter we’ve been constantly been raising with
the Department.

we are not going to stop, it’s a matter that we’ll continue in all other
hospitals in the province because it’s a matter of resources.
“There is a great influx of
nurses who have resigned due to the pension reforms issues which is clearly a
strain on the human resources” Gada added.
