Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, following court observations a few years ago, we issued Extraordinary Gazette 2379/02 dated 08.04.2024 establishing the Ayurveda Compendium and the required Regulatory Authority. The Attorney General’s Department has raised several concerns regarding this Gazette; we have begun the necessary amendments. Until the new Gazette is issued, we are taking interim legal steps for regulation and registration. The Hon. Member’s concerns are valid; where regulation is incomplete, there are issues in enforcement. We are rectifying this.
