Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, I mentioned three main constructions. The approved nursing cadre is 320; 300 are in service. We will provide the remaining 20 within about one and a half months. The approved health staff cadre is 198; 191 are in service; seven vacancies will be filled—approval has been granted. A cadre revision, pending for years, has been initiated, enabling further staff increases. As this is the sole District General Hospital in the district, we will prioritize it.
