Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa - Deputy Minister of Health and Mass Media
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa clarified that nursing promotion timelines remain unchanged under the existing Nursing Establishment: Grade II to Grade I in five years, Grade I to Senior Grade I in seven years, and Senior Grade I to Supra Grade in ten years. He rejected claims that all promotions had been extended to ten years or that pensions would be affected, stating that promotions would proceed according to the established schedule.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, our colleague Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara and two other Members spoke about the timelines for nursing promotions. I listened.
¶ 02 Under the Nursing Establishment, a Nursing Officer in Grade II moves to Grade I in five years. From Grade I to Grade I (Senior) in seven years. From Grade I (Senior) to the Supra Grade in ten years. That is the nursing service structure and it does not change. A very small group within the nursing service is spreading the falsehood that every step is now ten years and that it will affect their pension. That is not true. Promotions will take place on schedule – 5, 7, and 10 years. No one should have doubts about that.
