Sushmita Dev’s Supplementary Question on the Union govt’s consultation with states for Heal in India

Sir, this is a very ambitious plan. I am not opposing this initiative of the Government of India, but the reality is that in the health sector, our own citizens are struggling for affordable healthcare and access to healthcare. The hon. Minister has said that they have had many consultations. In a country where we believe in federalism and in the
Constitution, where Health is a State subject, मुझेदुख हैिक इस consultation मेंिकसी भी �देश को नहीं बुलाया गया। उन्होंनेपूरी िलस्ट दी है, MEA, नीित आयोग आिद, but without the State machinery, this is nothing but a jumla. Sir, my question is: how many States have been consulted and when do you plan to consult them on this plan?
