    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the hon. Member that we do not have selected facilities for that. Every medical centre where we have services for reproductive health, that kind of information is available. I understand that, at Manga District Hospital, there is such a facility. At every hospital, we have a reproductive health department. That facility is available at every district hospital and health centre. So, do not look for special clinics October 29, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3079 which are giving that service. It is inclusive in our health service delivery. I would like to inform this august House that we have upgraded Family Health into a full department headed by a full Departmental Head, just like the Preventive Health Care department. It is receiving maximum attention. The only thing that is lacking is the funding; you all know that the funds for the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation are passed in this House. In fact, I would like you to check in the Printed Estimates how much money my Ministry has been allocated. If it were not for our development partners, we would not even be able to do half of what we are doing. We are always sourcing funds for supporting public health. I would like to ask this House to ask our Treasury to note the importance of public health, because it is cheaper to prevent than to cure. At the moment, most of the funds are directed to curative health. If we had more funds in the Ministry we would do a lot more."
