Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa stated that certain health facilities in the North lack nursing posts because they are not included in the Provincial Council-approved cadre. He said there is no objection to appointing nurses, but the cadre must first be revised to create the necessary posts before such appointments can be made.

¶ 01 Thank you. Hon. Member, you have worked closely with health in the North. The problem is that under the Provincial Council–approved cadre, some facilities have no nursing posts allocated. We must first revise the cadre to provide such posts. There is no objection to providing nurses; but at present nursing appointments are not included within the approved cadre of the Provincial Council.
