Low staff attendance rates at hospitals put a lot of strain on the staff who remain, depressing their morale and the quality of patient care, says Jack Bloom, who monitors government healthcare as a member of the provincial legislature for the Democratic Alliance in Gauteng. File imageSix of the seven largest public hospitals in Gauteng do not meet the health department's “acceptable” staff attendance rate of 90%.
This is revealed by Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku in a written reply to questions to Jack Bloom of the DA in the Gauteng Legislature. According to Masuku, the low attendance rate is mainly due to “staff who take or are on sick leave including those who are on the PlLlR process and family responsibility leave”. Bloom states PILIR is the policy and procedure on incapacity leave and ill-health retirement to assist departments in managing incapacity leave and ill-health retirement.
