Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 If any such funds are received—whatever the amount—they must mandatorily be deposited in the official accounts of the relevant hospital committees and we must be informed. Especially if such a large sum is received, prior notification is required to accept it. That is a very large amount; therefore, notification is compulsory. Hon. Member, if inquiries are underway as you said, as a Government we will extend full cooperation to ascertain the facts in this matter. Thank you for raising this question.
