36 psychiatric patients who were transferred from Life Healthcare Esidimeni earlier this year have died while in the care of the NGOs in which they were placed by the Gauteng Health Department. This was disclosed today by Gauteng Health MEC, Qedani Mahlangu, in an oral reply to my questions in the Legislature. The psychiatric patients were moved into 122 NGOs after the department cancelled its long-running contract with Life Healthcare which looked after about 2000 patients.
