The Deputy Chief Minister is juggling figures: SP
SP’s Dr. Man Singh Yadav said that the Deputy Chief Minister is juggling figures and he is an expert in this. The Deputy Chief Minister retorted to this and said that there is a very good system in hospitals since the SP rule. There is a system to take the data of patients from hospitals every day.
Right now 1.75 lakh patients are coming to government hospitals every day. 12 thousand people injured due to road accidents and fire etc. are coming for treatment. Eight thousand patients suffering from serious diseases and five thousand patients are being operated free of cost every day.
A control room has been set up in the Directorate General of Health and monitoring has been arranged through CCTV cameras. Raj Bahadur Singh Chandel raised the issue of shortage of doctors and staff in Uma Shankar Dixit District Hospital of Unnao. An assurance of early deployment was given on this.
Question on 97 posts of malaria unit being vacant in Varanasi
SP’s Ashutosh Sinha raised the question that a total of 127 posts have been sanctioned in the urban malaria unit in Varanasi and out of these 97 posts are vacant. He said that when this is the situation in the Prime Minister’s parliamentary constituency, what will be the situation in other districts?
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said that all these are posts of fourth class employees and recruitment has not taken place in them. In such a situation, work is being done through outsourcing and the situation is much better. Dengue and malaria have reduced. JE and AES are now on the verge of elimination.
Ashutosh Sinha said that the posts of insect collector, senior field servant and field servant were changed from fourth to third class in the year 2015. In such a situation, the House is being misled.

Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said in the House that Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia ji would also be crying after seeing these fake socialists. He had a heated argument with SP members during questions and answers on the health system.
