In an effort to bring relief to mental health non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the Gauteng Department of Health has paid more than R2.5 million to Little Eden Society and R486 864 to Vita Nova centres.
To further reduce accruals, the Department is currently processing payments to other non governmental organisations and service providers. Service providers will be paid during this month.
The Department has now entered in the final phase of payments to clear all outstanding debts. All the invoices from previous financial year will be paid by end of June this year.
A total of R11.1 billion has been paid to suppliers since April last year.
The Department aims to pay all suppliers owed under R1million by end of this month. Debts owed under R100 million will be settled by May and suppliers owed over R100 million will receive their settlement payments by June this year.
We would like to reiterate that the department is fully aware and committed to meeting all its past and future obligations to service providers.
Service providers can call the Department’s contact Centre to enquire about payments on 011 355 2222/7633/7650/7636 or 7633.
