Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Chairman, I move, “That a sum of Rs. 10 be cut from the Recurrent and Capital Expenditures of each Programme, as per the tradition, out of the Heads of Expenditure Nos. 111, 210, 211, 220 and 308 pertaining to the Ministry and other departments and institutions coming under it and scheduled to be taken up for discussion today, Saturday, 22nd November, 2025, at the Committee Stage Discussion of Appropriation Bill, 2026.”
¶ 02 Hon. Chairman, in this Committee Stage debate on the Ministry of Health, the discussion is vital. The Hon. Speaker is a doctor; you, Sir, are also a doctor; the Hon. Minister of Health is a doctor; and the Deputy Minister of Health is a doctor; so the subject is well understood.
