The policy has not worked most of the time, but I would like to assure the House that we intend to take a step further to ensure that it works. We want to come up with a uniform house allowance for all our health workers, regardless of where they are working. We hope that such an initiative will enable us to move quite a number of our health workers from the urban centres to health facilities in rural areas. So, when we come up with a uniform house allowance for, say, doctors, even if they are posted to medical facilities in rural areas, they can save a little from this allowance. That way, we hope, we will make it possible for people to opt to work in the rural areas."}
