Dear Colleague

ADJUSTMENT OF PATIENT FEE TARIFFS FOR 2014/15

Your submission dated 7 January 2014 regarding the annual       adjustment of tariffs
                      for patient fees in the 2014/15 financial year refers.

2.   The detailed proposal of tariff increase was perused and shows   an average annual
                      increase of 5.6 per cent in the tariffs of the Uniform Patient Fess Schedule  (UPFS)
                      in 2014/15. The national Department of Health has previously indicated that the
                      implementation of revised tariffs in provinces is subject to Ministerial approval.

3.   The Provincial Planning and Treasury supports the 5.6 per cent tariff increase as
                     from 1 April 2014, subject to Ministerial approval of the revised national  tariffs. The
                     department is reminded that any deviations of tariffs that may result from the
                     Ministerial approval should be reflected in the gazette of provincial tariffs that will
                     be implemented provincially. Any revenue that is collected above the estimates will
                     revert to the Provincial Revenue Fund.

Ikhwezi Lomso greetings: Serving with Honesty, Humility and Integrity

Yours truly
