Estimates of Provincial Revenue and Expenditure (EPRE) -2023/24 Financial Year

The department is rolling out of Hospital Management System (HMS 2) at hospitals such as Butterworth,
CMH, Frere, Mthatha Regional, Nelson Mandela Academic, St Patricks, Madzikane KaZulu, Frontier,

Humansdorp, Uitenhage, PE Provincial, and Livingstone from November 2022. This roll-out includes the
revenue module, the patient administration module and the clinical module. The department’s efforts to

expand revenue collections resulted in the consultation workshop with the revenue and finance managers
from health facilities in February 2023 to craft a way forward to improve existing revenue sources and
develop innovative ways for revenue sources available to the health facilities of the department.

The Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism through the Eastern Cape

Gambling Board (ECGB) is continuing with the roll out of Limited Pay-out Machines (LPMs). The Eastern
Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) is in the process with the amendment of the Liquor Act for which funds have
been made available over the MTEF. The potential increase in revenue from the amended liquor act is

from new licence categories which are not currently catered for in the current act and will thus result in
additional revenue. These new categories include mobile liquor vendor licence for on consumption or off
consumption purposes, wine sellers, etc. In addition, the new revenue sources consist of the undersea

telecommunications project of the sea shore lease for collection from the 2023/24 financial year onward.
