I am sure the member would like to serve us with the information that relates to the doctors about whom there has been complains lately, so that we can follow it up and deal with the issue properly. However, in relation to the general requirements for various hospitals, we are aware that there are serious challenges of shortages because of vacancies that have not been filled. We are working on the matter.
Last week we addressed the issue that relates to the interns that needed to be taken into service. I am sure the members are aware that originally we did not have as many posts as there were numbers of interns that were coming out. So in the course of this we were able to realise that we needed to put additional funding to fund another 840 interns which we have distributed across the country. For doing so, we have had to look for additional resources in terms of internal savings. So the intern problem has been solved. We are now going to be taking the next steps to look at where else are the shortages and we will address them as much as we can. We are aware there are constraints in the system but what we have taken as an approach from the Department of Health is that we will do our own internal savings and channel the funds towards the solving the staffing problems.
If there are additional issues where there are concerns about certain doctors please submit to us, we will follow the matter up. Thank you.
