Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, many Members from both sides spoke to me yesterday about the token action in the Northern Province. It is not in force today; it was only yesterday. It related specifically to the nurses’ attendance register. The Provincial Secretary, the Governor, provincial leaders, and the Provincial Director of Health Services held discussions. Based on the outcome, an understanding can be reached. An audit was conducted regarding hospital staff attendance, and based on several audit charts the Provincial Council took certain decisions. However, the action is not in force today; negotiations were held last night with the trade unions.
