Private Sector Indaba.

SPEECH BY THE MINISTER OF HEALTH

21 September 2007,

Midrand I wish to welcome you all to this very important indaba. I am particularly pleased that so many of you were able to prioritise this very important meeting which aims to explore strategies to further transform the health sector in our country with particular reference to the private health sector. I must also welcome the MEC's who have agreed to be with us and who will facilitate some of the group discussions.

I made a commitment to you last month that the Department will provide the leadership to enable us to engage further on measures that need to be taken to address a range of issues relating the sustainability of the private health sector, including issues of costs, affordability and transparency.

Subsequent to our August meeting, a task team with members from various parts of the private health care sector was established to prepare an agenda for this Indaba. . I believe that the agenda that the Task Team prepared is inclusive of all the role-players that will effect and be affected by the interventions that this meeting proposes. I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the Task Team for their participation and commitment to this process.

I wish to encourage all of us to frankly acknowledge the challenges that face the private health care system so that we can collectively decide how best to respond to these challenges. Off course, it is true that this will not be an easy process given the competing interests of the various sections of the sector.

As you know, we have a private hospital industry, specialists, general practitioners, dentists, etc, who operate in an environment of a "fee for service" model. This model means that the more services one provides the greater the reimbursement.
