3. 3 Overview of Budget and MTEF Estimates • 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

4. 4 Overview of Budget and MTEF Estimates • 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.
