    • The Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikkalanathan DTNA

      AI summary Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikkalanathan sought an update on establishing a Rajya Osusala outlet in Mannar Town, noting that land near the Mannar Kachcheri had earlier been allocated and approved by the SPC technical team for a prefabricated sales centre. He said the new SPC management later cited lack of funds and requested an existing building instead, despite a Health Minister’s instruction to proceed. He asked the Government to state the feasibility and next steps, including whether two Municipal Council buildings submitted for consideration could be used.

    • The Hon. (Dr.) Hansaka Wijemuni JJB

      AI summary SPC officials inspected a proposed building in Mannar on 15 July 2025 and found it suitable for a Rajya Osusala, but the financial assessment indicated that a full outlet would incur significant losses even with minimum staff. Dr. Hansaka Wijemuni said officials have been instructed to reassess a lower-cost pharmacy window or branch model under the district SPC head office to reduce administrative and staffing costs while maintaining patient access, with establishment expected as soon as possible.
