• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other issue was whether faith-based organisations are non-profit making organisations. The cost of healthcare in many mission hospitals is between what the Government charges and what private entities charge. They are subsidised by being given staff, medicines, ambulances and, at times, even by being bailed out by the Government, so that they offer services at a reduced cost. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue why they are not able to release a patient without the patient clearing all the money, I think that is an administrative issue. It has nothing to do with a Government policy. As we have said, the Ministry of Health is working on a policy on how we can partner with faith-based organisations. So, once the policy comes here and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: we have it approved then we will have guidelines on how the engagement between the Government and the faith-based organisations is going to be managed. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: In as far as the issue of personnel is concerned; I think that is a challenge. What we need to realise is that health has been devolved. Healthcare is now under the county governments. So, it is the responsibility of the County Government of Nyeri to employ staff that they need for the operationalisation of CT scans, x-rays, ultra-sounds and so on. It is also their responsibility to make sure that wananchi access services which are not available. view

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On why there are selective services in other places as asked by hon. Letimalo, the Government gives them the services that they have requested.

So, those issues will be clarified with time. view
