¶ 01 Second supplementary/request: At Kandy District General Hospital, four projects started in 2017–2018 have stalled. In February, the Hon. Minister of Health allocated Rs. 1,500 million for these, including Rs. 950 million for the cancer treatment building and the thalassemia unit, for which I thank him. Regarding the ICU project, due to issues with the contracted company, work cannot proceed. If re-tendered and awarded to a new contractor, the ICU project can recommence. We would be grateful, especially for the people of Kandy District.
