2. PART A 2 2 NATIONAL HEALTH LABORATORY SERVICE

3. 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 Overview of Budget and MTEF Estimates 3 3

4. 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.
