The Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy
Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy commended the Suwa Seriya ambulance service but raised concerns about the shortage of Tamil-speaking staff at its call centre and in recruitment or promotion processes. He asked whether steps could be taken to increase Tamil-speaking staff so patients and applicants can communicate necessary information effectively.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, Suwa Seriya provides excellent service. However, when people call the call centre, there are not enough Tamil-speaking staff. In such cases, patients cannot convey symptoms or required details; likewise, at recruitment or promotion, Tamil speakers are lacking, posing challenges to applicants and others. Can steps be taken to increase the number of Tamil-speaking staff in these areas?
