The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
Appreciation is expressed for health staff service, with emphasis on providing physical resources, technology, and adequate support staff as the best form of recognition. It is noted that the previous Budget increased basic salaries for all public servants, including health workers, thereby affecting overtime and allowances, and that further allowances may be pursued with the Ministry of Finance as economic conditions improve.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we appreciate their service, as in many hospitals. The best recognition is to provide the physical resources, technology and adequate support staff to continue services. In the previous Budget we increased basic salaries for all public servants, including health staff, which also raises overtime and allowances. As the economy grows, we will work to provide further allowances, drawing the attention of the Ministry of Finance.
