The Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa
Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa stated that health services should be planned at district and regional cluster level, using resources in Kilinochchi and other Northern hospitals to benefit surrounding areas rather than concentrating development in a few facilities. He said specialized facilities in certain hospitals should be accessible to people across the province and adjacent districts, and that a discussion with the Regional Director is planned to address the issues raised.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, we consider providing facilities at the district level. Likewise, if we provide human and physical resources to other nearby hospitals in your district and the vicinity, we think the people in those areas too can benefit from the services. Rather than developing only the few hospitals within the district aiming solely at providing relief to people within that district, we plan to manage the services across Kilinochchi and other hospitals in the North, optimizing the available facilities among this cluster. Some hospitals have particular specialized facilities which should be made available to people within that province and in adjacent districts as well.
¶ 02 We have already planned to hold a discussion very soon regarding those hospitals with the RD. I will pay attention to the issues you have presented. Thank you very much.
