ICU development projects at nine hospitals, in addition to Kandy, have stalled because the original contractor was unable to proceed amid the financial crisis. Legal action is under way, and the Legal Division is considering whether to retender the projects or permit the company that acquired the contractor to continue them. Necessary financial allocations will be made once that decision is taken.
