• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was told yesterday by the hon. Member for Bura that actually, eight nurses were employed. I undertook to ask my Permanent Secretary whether the forms filled by the nurses came to our Ministry. He indicated to me that he is following it up with the Public Service Commission to see whether we can get those numbers and employ those nurses.

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not the Ministry of Health which determines hardship areas. Hardship areas are determined elsewhere and, as soon as we are told of a hardship area, then we pay the necessary allowances. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were given a flat rate regardless of the constituencies. If Galore and Bura are classified as hardships areas, then we will look into that and advise accordingly. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not have another copy. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask for the intelligence of the House. I have discussed this Question with Dr. Nuh and think that I do not have enough material to supply him with an answer. So, I would prefer to answer it tomorrow afternoon. view
