    "content": "In upgrading a lower level health facility to a hospital, the Ministry of Medical Services is guided by the following three considerations:- (i) An inspection report and recommendation of the District Medical Officer of Health; (ii) A minuted recommendation of the District Development Committee; and, (iii) The norms and standards for health service delivery adopted in June, 2006. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry would consider upgrading the Government health centres in North Horr Constituency to sub-district hospitals if the relevant organs in the district initiate the processes in (i) and (ii)) above, subject to the satisfactory conformity to norms and standards for public hospitals. We will follow the staffing norms for health service delivery which permit deployment of medical officers in hospitals only. The Ministry can, therefore, consider posting a medical officer to North Horr only when the district has acquired a hospital. However, I have done my due diligence and we have realized that we have a medical officer in this health facility. So, I think my officers did not do good research, but I will deal with them accordingly."
