Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, I thank you for the 303 appointments to indigenous medicine this month, including 36 to the Northern Province, 29 of which went to the Vanni District. Major vacancies in Mullaitivu and Mannar are now filled. Thank you, as MP for Vanni.
¶ 02 My first supplementary: Across the Northern Province, there are vacancies for health workers—health assistants, sanitation workers, physiotherapists, etc.—critical for quality service delivery in indigenous medicine. Is there scope to fill at least part of these cadre vacancies in 2026 to improve service quality?
