Derek O’Brien’s Supplementary Qs on CGHS services for retired military personnel, senior journalists

Sir, my question is on the Central Government Health Scheme. The hon. Minister has answered paying of bills is a
continuous and dynamic process. So, since the Minister of State for Health is a lady, I was wondering whether as a part of this continuous and dynamic process, she actually convinces his male colleagues to make all these cards
in the name of the woman of the house. My supplementary question is this. There are many reports that 175
health care organizations are refusing to honour and clear the CGHS bills of ex-servicemen. It is my question and humble appeal as well, what steps the Minister is going to take so that the medical bills of ex-servicemen are
honoured.
