The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Sivagnanam Shritharan questioned the Deputy Minister on the status of a Netherlands-funded hospital unit opened in 2024, stating that it has not begun substantive operations and no staff cadre has been appointed. He raised concern over reported requests from other hospitals to obtain the equipment and public protests against moving it, and asked when the unit would become fully functional.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, despite your assurances, letters have already been sent from other hospitals requesting these Netherlands-provided modern equipment, and such letters have been publicized. Although the unit was opened in 2024, no substantive operations have begun, and no cadre has been appointed. People protested attempts to move equipment. I also met the officer in charge. When will this unit properly function?
