The department's Joe Maila has reiterated the department's stance that the problem is a result of management and not Dhlomo.
"Everybody has a view on what is happening. Our assessment of the situation is that there's a serious problem in terms of human resources and planning in KZN. The issue of procurement is also a concern for us. That's our analysis of the situation," he says.
Motsoaledi outlined the department's strategy to address the issues facing KZN Health in Durban last week.
