"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion, again, because we are going to pay our nurses properly. We know that nurses do a very good job. They are professionals and we spend a lot of money training them. So, if we cannot maintain them, it will be a disgrace. The other day the nurses were on the streets and it is very embarrassing for our country that we cannot pay our nurses properly. We do not need to have such kind of thing happening again in this country. Again, we know that our nurses are running out of this country in very great numbers. They are doing this because we are not able to sustain them and pay them good salaries. They need to be paid at the rates that are competitive internationally, so that we can maintain them here. This is because they do a very good job. I have never seen a hospital without nurses. So, it is important that we make sure that they are taken care of, so that we maintain them in this country. As I said, it is very expensive to train one nurse. So, to have one running out of this country is also not good for us. So, it is important that we support this Motion, so that this money is available to pay these nurses."
