Abstract
Abstract
It was approaching the middle of the 2006/2007 financial year. The Johannesburg Hospital Finance Director, Gumani Matodzi, had just completed another weekly run of the hospital's top 20 goods and services expenses. As always, the National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) expenses were at the top of the list and yet again they were over budget. The demands of the Public Finance Management Act (no 1 of 1999) (PFMA) made it important to ensure that the hospital did its best to stay within its budget, and Matodzi wondered how he could better manage NHLS expenditure.
