NATIONAL HEALTH LABORATORY SERVICE

• Several changes have been made to the NHLS budget• National Functions:

• The NDOH and National Treasury have agreed to the change in funding of certain national functions (such as the NICD, NIOH, NCR, Teaching and Training)

• Whilst the NDOH estimated estimated that the total cost of the National Functions is R755m.

• The National Treasury has only approved an amount of R678.5m

• Tariff Changes:

• The direct funding of National Functions will result in the NHLS having to collect 9.06% less in fee revenue.

• However, as there was no tariff adjustment in the 2014/15 financial year, the NHLS is still applying the 13/14 tariffs. As such the NHLS Board has requested a 5.6% increase for the 15/15 financial year.

• The net effect is that the against the 15/16 tariff schedule, there will be a reduction of 3.97% across the board that will be effected due to the substitution of funding sources.
