The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
The Member raised concerns relating to the NMRA data deletion issue, stating that records of a Jaffna pharmacy had reportedly been completely deleted and seeking clarification. He also alleged that 18 pharmacies in Jaffna were operating without licences, linked this to the trafficking and sale of Pregabalin and related court cases, and questioned the Ministry over alleged neglect by the RDHS in licensing oversight in the Northern Province.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the main Question concerns NMRA data deletion. Data of a Jaffna pharmacy has been entirely deleted; therefore I seek clarification. Additionally, 18 pharmacies in Jaffna are reportedly operating without licences; Pregabalin has been trafficked and sold; cases have been filed. Why is there neglect in licensing in the North by RDHS, who is under your Ministry?
