¶ 01 I am not saying anything extra. Hon. Minister of Health, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, I am asking you about this matter. Even though the Director-General of Health Services has sent a letter to transfer her, it has still not been implemented. Our esteemed MP for Mannar, Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikalanathan, has also stated that there is no Consultant Paediatrician at the Mannar Hospital. I have sent you those three letters. I kindly request that steps be taken to implement the transfer.
