The Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen
Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen requested additional time and raised concerns over the stalled development of Puttalam Hospital.

He alleged that the Provincial Council is neglecting the hospital and obstructing development, noting that promised 4MDI funds have not been released.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please give me a little more time.
¶ 02 They have completed a master plan; it is with the Provincial Council, which has not yet sent it to your Ministry. They are not keen to develop Puttalam Hospital. I know you are not like that; you are from Kalutara and I know you well. But the Provincial Council keeps Puttalam Hospital in this neglected state and blocks development. They promised funds via 4MDI, but not a cent has arrived.
