Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev’s supplementary question on efforts, if any, being made by the government to hire contractual staff to fill up health posts in the northeast as postings in that region are often seen by people from other regions as hardships postings and therefore, not worth it, and addressing the striking National Health Mission workers in Assam on the issue of ‘equal pay, equal work’
Thank you, Sir, for the opportunity. I have gone through the list of sanctioned posts and the vacancies. There are three units in Silcher, but the figure against sanctioned posts is zero. Therefore, they have not been able to fill it. My question to the hon. Minister is this: A posting in the North East is seen in the country as a hardship posting sometimes. So, does the Health Minister have any provision to, maybe, hire doctors, paramedics on a contractual basis rather than filling up these permanent posts, which may help in better human resource?
