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 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. Compensation of Employees increased from R319.278 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R357.074 million in 2024/25 mainly due to the filling of new posts under the revised organisational structure and ICS adjustments. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 13 per cent to R403.542 million mainly due to provisions made for new critical posts in the revised organisational structure as well as additional funding received for the wage agreement. Goods and Services increased from R46.797 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R78.480 million in 2024/25 mainly due to additional allocations received for medico-legal interventions at DoH, operational costs for the upgrading and maintaining computer server LAN infrastructure and increased demand for provincial internal audit, risk management and forensic investigator trainings. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 27.6 per cent to R100.165 million mainly due to rescheduling of organisational development projects from 2024/25 to 2025/26. In 2026/27, the budget decreases due to the removal of once-off allocation, which was rescheduled to 2025/26 for an organizational development project and it grows moderately in line with inflationary adjustment in 2027/28. Transfers and Subsidies decreased from R4.173 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R3.411 million in 2024/25 due to a decrease in the number of officials exiting the department. In 2025/26, the budget decreases by 46.6 per cent to R1.822 million primarily due to a reduction in the number of officials anticipated to leave the department. 784
