The Star reports that the Gauteng Health Department has advertised chief executive positions for three hospitals and plans on headhunting a candidate for one more facility.
On Tuesday, it announced that it had advertised positions for hospital CEOs at Tshwane District, Bertha Gxowa District in Soweto and Lenasia South District. Other vacancies include deputy director-general for human resources and corporate services, CEO for emergency medical services, CEO for medical service deport, director for security directorate and the director for ICT operations and systems, among others. The department will also be head-hunting a candidate for the position of the CEO for Heidelberg District Hospital, which has been vacant for some time without a suitable candidate having been found. The vacancies have proven to be a costly affair for the department, with it having to fork out more in allowances. In October, the department disclosed it had paid just over R3.4 million from April to September in acting allowances to officials for about 78 vacancies from senior management at head office to hospital management.
