FS Health: morgue go-slow unnecessary | News Article

Bloemfontein - The Free State Health Department says it is distressing that state mortuary workers embarked on a go-slow when the issue of non-payment of overtime has reached a point of resolution.

Spokesperson Mondli Mvambi this morning confirmed that ten staff have been suspended and will face an internal disciplinary process after embarking on a go-slow last week Friday.

The disciplinary is expected to take place next week.
 
Mvambi meanwhile says the department is recovering from a backlog and has also put alternate plans in place to ensure bodies can be collected timeously.
 
He reiterated there is no health concern and the problem is a thing of the past.
 
He also apologized to all members of the public who have been inconvenienced in any way due to the go-slow.
