    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there are two issues where I am probably not making myself clear on. One, all our health workers are paid house allowance. Let us start from that premise. Then after that, if there are Government houses within the compound of the hospital, these health workers are then required to pay rent to the Government from their house allowance. So, most of the health workers find that it is much more expensive to pay rent to the Government than what they will pay for private houses. I think that is another point. So, we are encouraging our workers to stay within the compounds but then we find that because of the house allowance we are giving them, they realise that they would save a little more if they stayed in private rented houses. So, our priority at the moment is not to put up houses for our workers but to make sure that we increase the house allowance. We are working towards that to make sure that housing allowance will be uniform irrespective of whether somebody is working in town or in the rural area so that we encourage most of our health workers to work in the rural areas."
