Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I sought last year’s figures because shortages of vaccines are creating many problems in all districts. I asked what action the Government has taken. As the Hon. Minister said, I request quick solutions.

¶ 02 My first supplementary question relates to staffing. There is a severe shortage of minor employees in the health sector in our district and nationally. What solution has the Government adopted? Also, many have worked voluntarily for 10 to 15 years—has the Government taken steps to grant them job permanency?
