Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna raised a supplementary question regarding 170 workers who served at Jaffna Teaching Hospital from 2021 to 2024 and were later removed after lodging complaints, with a court case now pending. He asked for assurance that they would receive priority in new recruitments, as previously indicated, instead of recruitment proceeding on the basis of a separate name list.

Verbatim record (translated)

¶ 01 My first supplementary: From 2021 to 2024, for nearly three years, they worked at Jaffna Teaching Hospital until they lodged complaints. Now, all 170 have been systematically sent out, and a court case has been filed. You told me and them directly that priority would be given to them in new recruitments. But I hear you have taken a separate name list and recruitments will be based on that. Can you ensure priority to those who already served?
