REPLY:
1) I wish to thank the Honourable Member for raising matters of poor
conditions in our health facilities for as you know, our 10-Point
Plan programme is very serious about quality of health care in our
institutions. But, may the Honourable Member please be specific. What
is he specifically referring to? Is it buildings? Is it the staffing?
Is it equipment?
2) We are prepared to address any unwanted situation in any of our
health institutions.
END.
