Department of Infrastructure Development Annual Report 2021-2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | 2022

2.3 Organisational environment The highlight of 2020/21 was having no material findings recorded on performance information audit. On financial information, management has, during the year under review, regularly hosted the so-called Audit War Room engagements in efforts to address audit action plans and enhance accountability in a workplace. This was aimed mainly to improve controls to ensure that prior year audit findings do not recur in future audits. One of the challenges that occurred during the year was slow progress on the delivery of some infrastructure projects, which has led to replacement considerations. There are no major changes to relevant policies or legislation that may have affected operations during the period under review. 3. ACHIEVEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL IMPACTS AND OUTCOMES The Department has completed a total of 56 infrastructure projects during the current political term. Of the 51, 32 are on behalf of the Department of Education, 15 for Health and nine other departments. Key projects completed include two new schools namely, Noordgesig and Mayibuye Primary School, the construction of two new clinics and three libraries. Within these projects, there was the construction of wards for COVID-19 patients at Chris Hana Baragwanath (500 beds), Dr George Mukhari and Jubilee Hospitals both with the installation of 300 beds inside additional wards. 2.4 Key policy developments and legislative changes
