He stated that although an Emergency Treatment Unit was established with World Bank support and has the required building and equipment, services have not commenced or are not visible, and asked the Minister to clarify the discrepancy with the official answer.

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, according to the Minister’s answer, I have a Supplementary. At the Degahigaspe PMCU (Pitabeddara DS), serving about 23,000 people, an ETU was established with World Bank support, the building and equipment are in place, but ETU services are still not visible. I have visited several times and the doctor confirmed this. There seems a discrepancy with the answer. Has such a situation arisen?
