The Hon. (Dr.) Hansaka Wijemuni - Deputy Minister of Health
Deputy Minister of Health Hansaka Wijemuni stated that Dr. Bellana’s interdiction was based on two complaints—leaking sensitive patient information and making statements that caused public unrest—and that the Public Service Commission had approved the action. He said the interdiction was unrelated to the allegations raised by the Member. Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara disputed the basis for removal, noting that former hospital directors had previously provided information to the media, and requested that Dr. Bellana’s submissions and the related issues be properly investigated.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, Dr. Bellana’s interdiction is not related to the matters you mentioned. Two complaints arose: leaking sensitive patient information and issuing statements that caused public unrest. The Public Service Commission approved action accordingly. It is not connected to what you allege.
¶ 02 Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara:
¶ 03 Former hospital directors also gave information to the media previously. If Dr. Bellana was removed for that, it is wrong; sensitive information is already in the public domain in many cases. I ask that the information he submitted be properly investigated, and the matters now occurring be examined.
