Hyderabad: Former Health Minister and BRS MLA, Harish Rao, labels Congress government’s approach to appointing staff nurses as a distraction on Tuesday.
According to Harish Rao, the BRS government meticulously filled job vacancies, while the Congress government hastily issued premature appointment letters to take credit. An event for the distribution of these letters to staff nurses is scheduled at LB Stadium today.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha, and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka are expected to be present to hand over the appointment letters.
Harish Rao said that instead of prioritizing the Group 1 notification scheduled for February 1, the government was focusing on recruiting staff nurses.
He urged the government to stick to its commitment of fulfilling election promises and not divert attention through early appointments. According to Harish Rao, recruitment efforts for medical, nursing, paramedical, pharmacist, and other staff are already underway.
He highlighted that a notification for 5,204 staff nurse posts was issued on December 30, 2022, and an order was released on June 22, 2023, adding 1,890 posts, bringing the total to 7,094.
