Actual expenditure increased from R375.932 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R460.293 million in 2024/25. The increase is mainly due to additional allocations received for medico-legal interventions at DoH, the filling of new posts under the revised organisational structure, once-off costs for upgrading and maintaining computer server Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 12.8 per cent to R519.185 million mainly due to provisions made for new critical posts in the revised organisational structure, ICS adjustments, organisational development projects and ICT Strategy initiatives. In the 2 outer years, the budget continues to grow moderately. 783
