1/5 🚨 The WC could lose funding equivalent to 1615 doctors or 5981 nurses, and over approximately 9300 teachers if only 70% of residents get counted in the 2022 Census. This would severely undermine the quality of health care and education services that we provide. Image
2/5 In money terms, we stand to lose R9.7 billion, or over 16% of our provincial equitable share, if only 70% of residents get counted. This would shave R2.6 billion in funding off our health budget & R4.2 billion off our education budget.
