Durban - The National Department of Health is facing legal claims of more than R105 billion for medical negligence involving law firms whose clients are dissatisfied with the amount of money due to them from the court settlement amounts.
Health portfolio committee chairperson Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo said litigations had left the department with a liability of about R26bn, while Minister Zweli Mkhize told the committee that the department had settled R500 million of the claims last year.
The auditor-generalâs 2019-2020 report revealed in March this year that the government was facing litigation claims totalling R147.12bn. Most of the claims, R105bn, were related to medical negligence.
