In conversation with the DA's Gauteng Spokesperson for Health Madeleine Hicklin

The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng says the recent dispute over the evisceration or risk allowance paid to mortuary assistants in the province’s forensic pathology laboratories should be a wake-up call for the Gauteng Department of Health.
They further explained that while the recent two-day POPCRU strike did not cause a backlog in post-mortems, it exposed unresolved concerns about poor working conditions and the R750-per-month risk allowance for staff working in hazardous and emotionally demanding environments.
The party says Unless addressed urgently, the department risks losing skilled personnel and compromising critical forensic pathology services to Gauteng residents.
