Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my question is whether the concerned doctor has been appointed to the end post by the Ministry of Health following proper procedure with the approval of the PSC. This has nothing to do with that court case. I ask on behalf of the public.

¶ 02 My first supplementary: Since 2019, during COVID, the Jaffna Teaching Hospital received many hundreds of millions of rupees as donations. Are you aware of this? Can you confirm whether those funds were used properly?
