    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry has, in the last two years, gazetted 995 CDF constructed dispensaries that were complete. This means that the gazetted facilities are entitled to nursing staff, essential medicines and medical supplies from the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) in the Budget for the financial year, 2008/2009. My Ministry has made provisions to make all the gazetted CDF dispensaries operational in terms of provision of medical equipment and supplies as well as staffing with, at least, one nurse. Nurses are the cadre of technical staff that the Ministry deploys at the dispensary level. (b) My Ministry has no immediate plans to provide Mwitika Dispensary with an ambulance. This is because dispensaries do not qualify for provision of ambulances as per the existing policies neither are transport personnel found at that level. The infrastructure norms by my Ministry for dispensaries specify necessary transport at that level as a bicycle primarily for outreach services and a motorcycle for collection of supplies. Provision of ambulances commences from the level of sub-district hospitals upwards."
