The Institute of Race Relations continues its fight against the implementation of the NHI Bill in a submission today to the Select Committee on Health and Social Services in the National Council of Provinces.
The IRR yesterday wrote to Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi highlighting the detrimental impact of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies on the nation's unemployment rates in lieu of the latest data showing joblessness remaining at crisis levels.
The latest unemployment statistics presented in Stats SA’s Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) are another reminder that race-based policies, like BEE, have failed, and that the 2024 election is likely to be a referendum on 20 years of BEE failures.
The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) has warned the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) that approving the National Health Insurance Bill will trigger an exodus of doctors and other health professionals who fear the NHI will “destabilise” healthcare rather than bring improvements.
