¶ 01 Good, Hon. Minister. Since you are here, one more point: at Nuwara Eliya District General Hospital, in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics ward, there is only one toilet for 10 beds. Please look into it; it is in an old building. People asked me, “Sir, please see this.” We accept our past lapses, but please intervene and fix this now. Thank you.
