The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union has welcomed the terms of reference for the inquiry into the private health industry, which has been gazetted today.

Nehawu has called for the terms of reference to be made broader to allow for a shake-up not only of the private industry but also that of the pharmaceutical industry. 

Union's Spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said we feel that the minister is correct in pointing out the previous attempt to establish the risk equalisation fund and the prescribed minimum benefits have failed.

“We are aware that the Treasury is continuing with machinations of undermining the NHI. The ANC was very clear in the 53rd Congress in Mangaung that it is committed to a single public funded and publicly administered fund.
