Foreword by Premier Alan Winde
When I travel the length and breadth of our province, I often make a point of visiting facilities for which we are responsible. When I arrive at a clinic, hospital, or eCentre, there must not be tea and muffins waiting for me. I make a point of doing unannounced visits so I can see and experience for myself the quality of the services we offer our citizens. Where there are challenges, I urge the Western Cape Government staff I engage with to be honest with me so we can collectively address shortcomings. In cases where our facilities are excelling, I encourage staff to be proactive in seeking out ways to further improve our services.
