    "content": " Hon. Speaker, all these are questions. On insurance, the Cabinet Secretary said that it has been paid at the national level. That means some doctors at the county level do not have it. That is the status. We need to use the coordination mechanisms within the Government which are provided in the Constitution so that not only doctors, but also health workers can have similar conditions of work across the board. This is one of the areas that is giving us problems. The next question is on the post-graduate doctors. I am asking this question because it is a problem that exists. It is an issue in the current strike. I raised it in the Departmental Committee on Health. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary if it can help this country. Why is it that the post-graduate doctors work full-time in Government-funded hospitals? While funding those hospitals, we should create those positions which are paid for, so that the counties do not pay them when they are working in Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). The counties can use that money to employ doctors during the period they are away. This is another area that gives us a problem."
