The Gauteng Department of Health is giving urgent attention to the labour dispute with port health officials which has resulted in Yellow Fever desks being left unattended at airports.
The dispute which was caused by the non-payment of overtime and night duty allowance is currently being resolved and work will resume soon.
Plans by the department to resolve the matter include making money available to pay overtime and in the long term the department is considering to introduce a new shift system to avoid recurrence of the current dispute.
The department assures the community that this matter will soon be resolved and apologises profusely for any inconvenience caused during this labour dispute.
