The Hon. Roshan Akmeemana
Hon. Roshan Akmeemana raised two supplementary questions regarding Kantale Hospital, acknowledging recent upgrades and funding for facilities such as the drug store, maternity ward, parking, records room, and staff quarters. He asked whether the Ministry would take further steps on a submitted proposal for a new clinical building to centralize services. He also requested that doctors be posted through regular transfers, rather than short-term replacement arrangements, to ensure continuity of service for the public, preferably for at least five years.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary question on Kantale Hospital: I thank the Ministry for addressing many major deficiencies last year—upgrading the 5B main drug store, renovating the maternity ward, parking, and the records room; funds have been provided for Matron’s and staff quarters. A key remaining need is a new clinical building to centralize clinical services. We have submitted a proposal to the Ministry. Can further steps be taken?
¶ 02 My second supplementary question: On Human Resources—many doctors come as replacements rather than through regular transfers, often serving only about a year. Securing continuous service for at least five years would benefit the public. Can doctors be posted to Kantale through regular transfers to ensure continuity?
