¶ 01 Madam, point of order. The Hon. Member’s request aligns with issues we recently observed in Mullaitivu Mancholai Hospital during a visit with Hon. Deputy Minister Upali Samarasinghe and Hon. (Dr.) Sellathambu Thilakanathan. We identified deficiencies and arranged, with assistance from the District Secretary, to temporarily provide two housing blocks “like a housing scheme” for staff. We will bring this to the Health Minister and strive to meet Mancholai Hospital’s needs.
