    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate to hear that the DDCs do not exist in some districts. I think the relevant Ministry will address the same with the hon. Member's request in writing. This is because the modus operandi is such that the DDCs have to approve the upgrading of those hospitals through a request from the Board to the Government. There is no shortcut. The Ministry is thinking of changing the way of upgrading hospitals. There are some areas that have high populations and are not even at the provincial status. A good example is Machakos and Embu. There is an anomaly in grading hospitals in such places. So, the grading pattern of sub-district and district hospitals to provincial hospitals will soon or later be phased out so that we can have certain levels of grading of hospitals depending on the need of the population for that facility. If an area is a location and has enough population to be served by a hospital of the status of a provincial hospital, then that will be addressed at that time."
