The Hon. Mayilvaganam Jegatheeswaran
Mayilvaganam Jegatheeswaran raised a supplementary question regarding voluntary Health Service Assistants in Northern Province hospitals who received appointment letters from the Provincial Ministry of Health in 2019 but were not allowed to assume duties. He asked whether they can now be granted appointments and why the original appointments were not implemented, and tabled a copy of the relevant letter.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, in the Northern Province, a considerable number of people are serving as Health Service Assistants in many hospitals on a voluntary basis. In 2019, the Provincial Ministry of Health issued them appointment letters. However, hospitals did not allow them to assume duties. To date, no action has been taken regarding their appointments. Is there an opportunity to grant them appointments? Although appointment letters were issued in 2019, why were they not permitted to take up duties? That is my first Supplementary Question. I table a copy of that letter.
