    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are some of the steps that are taken on the way to a facility becoming either a sub-district or a district hospital. It is quite possible that the common nomenclature used by the people is to call it a district hospital, which is fine but, officially, it has not been gazetted as such. In order for it to be gazetted as such, it needs the facilities that the hon. Member is asking for. That is one of the reasons as to why we are appealing for resources, to ensure that facilities such as Matiliku get the requisite facilities that would make them function as district hospitals. Indeed, it may have a doctor treating people, because of the catchment area of the health facility. But in order for it to be a fully-fledged district hospital, it will need much more than the facilities it has at the moment. Our heart is with the hon. Member, to make sure that Matiliku becomes a fully-fledged district hospital, but we have to be very transparent and say that, at the moment, it has not been gazetted as such, and that it needs many more facilities such as the one that the hon. Member is asking for, for it to gain the status of a district hospital."
