EWN reports that the Federation of Unions of SA (Fedusa) has called on the Health Department to urgently intervene following a spate of attacks on emergency medical staff in the Western Cape.
Fedusa has written to Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi calling on him to take the necessary measures to address the issue. President Godfrey Selematsela said it was shocking that more than a hundred attacks on ambulance crews were reported in the Western Cape last year. He indicated that seven attacks on ambulance crews had happened during the festive season. “It is the responsibility of the employer to create a safe working environment, hence our appeal to the national ministry,” he stated.
