ADMINISTRATION DIVISION

Year 2002 can be identified as a year full of activities in view of the establishment, administrative and development functions that were dealt with during the period. Rapid expansion and development in health services and social transformation led to these increased activities.

According to the organizational set up of the Department of Health Services, there are 15 Deputy/Additional Deputy Directors General under the Director General of Health Services Directors are working under these Deputy / Additional  Deputy Directors General. Administrative functions of the Head Quarters are entirely attended to by the Central Administration Branch under the Deputy Director General  (Administration).

02 Administration Branch

As ervice need that had arisen during the latter part of 1999 paved the way for filling a large number of vacancies in the health Assistant Medical Officers, Para Medical Services, Technological Services, Professions Supplementary to Medicine, Nursing Service, Clerks, Data Entry Operators and Ordinary Laborers   were of special significance.  A schedule showing the new recruits is attached hereto.

244 Nurses who passed out from schools of Nursing in June, 2000 were posted to 7hospitals.  In addition to this, 1415 nurses were recruited for training.  169 nursing officers retired from service and 20 vacated their posts during the period under review.  299 left the Island on no pay leave for foreign employment.

7415 Candidates sat the examination for recruitment of pupil nurses in June 2000, and the results could be computerized by the end of December. 

Uniforms of minor staff was a grave problem  the Department had  to face during the year 2000.  Further, the limit in overtime to minor staff was removed, and a decision was taken to make payment of overtime depending on the length of work done.  However the minor staff   refused to use the uniform approved by the Department of Health Services as agreed at the meeting held under the  patronage of H.E the President during the latter part of  1999, and thus it remained as an unresolved problem during the year.

Taking into consideration the excessive amount of work the Deputy Director General (Administration) had to  perform, some of such duties were handed over to an Additional  Deputy Director General.
