However, the CT scan machine installed in CD hospital,
Jammu is functional, Minister claimed, adding that a part of CT scan machine
was not functional. The concerned firm was informed and the firm has replaced
it , the Minister claimed.
MLA had asked why the Jammu and Kashmir Medical
Supplies Corporation has failed to provide many instruments viz cotton,
bandages and injections of common use including others. In reply, Minister said
no (the Corporation is providing everything to the hospitals).
After receiving not satisfactory replies from the
Minister, the MLC sought accurate reply. The MLC demanded a survey should be
conducted to find out the facts. He also asked the Chair to enquire about the
existing health facilities on ground in the government hospitals in Jammu
province.
Later, speaking to reporters outside the House, MLC Ramesh
Arora threatened to quit from his post if the allegations leveled by him prove
untrue. He claimed the CT scan machine in is non-functional as people within
the hospital are hand in glove with private players and they get hefty
commission from them.
He also blamed Minister for being careless towards
development of health infrastructure especially in Jammu province.
