  Roads and Works (DPTRW) to increase capacity on

  strengthen the capacity to manage and expedite
  revitalisation projects

Monitoring Capacity

• The planning cycle of projects was reduced from
  27 to 20 months
• Flagship projects were identified which merited
  special attention by both Departments.
• Closer cooperation and communication with
  institutional Facility Management Units has been
  implemented in respect of planning to finalise
  user requirements before a brief, requirements
  and schedule of accommodation is conveyed to
  DPTRW.
• This has reduced the need for subsequent
  amendment of design briefs which was often a
  cause of delays

19
Monitoring Capacity

• Projects were planned to tender documentation
  stage that could be initiated at short notice if
  cash flow trends demanded expedited expenditure.
• Projects were initiated to exceed the budgeted
  amount in order to allow for delays or under
  expenditure. A target budget for 2006/07 has
  already been agreed. Projects for the 2006 / 2007
  financial year have already been conveyed to
  DPTRW.

  services e.g. renal dialysis provided by some
  regional hospitals which are not funded
