Johannesburg - The Gauteng health department has paid R276m over the past two years for 110 legal claims, most of which were for medical negligence, the DA said on Monday.
"This is revealed in documents I obtained from the department after making an application under the Promotion of Access to Information Act," DA Gauteng health spokesperson Jack Bloom said in a statement.
"The highest pay-out was R16.5m in the case of Kutloano Ntsebeng Makgomarela, who was brain-damaged when she was born at the Tembisa Hospital."
