Respected Sir,
The following is my submission which may kindly be considered and if feasible and acceptable may be taken up with the GOI for implementation while implementing the VIIh Pay Commission Report.
BASIC PAY INCREASE/OVERALL INCREASE
1) Pension may be raised to at least 25% for the Pre-2006 retirees; or
2) One rank one pension, if feasible may be implemented for pensionsers;also as is applicable to Armed Forces Pensioners;
CGHS
1) PENSIONERS RESIDING IN NON CGHS AREAS ARE LEFT HIGH AND DRY WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE;
2) AFTER A HECULIAN TASK, THE HONOURALB E MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND FAMILY PENSION ,SHRI NADDA HAS SANCTIONED A CGHS CLINIC IN VISAKHAPATNAM OF ANDHRA PRADESH (DIVIDED STATE) AS PER PAPER REPORTS BUT THERE IS NO NOTIFICTON TO THAT EFFECT;
3) ALL PENSIONERS ASSOCIATIONS IN VISAKHATNAM HAVE COOLED DOWN NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO FURTHER;
POLITICIANS HAVE NO SAY DUE TO NON-APPLICATION OF PRESSSURE FROM ANY SIDE AND THERE ARE NO SUGGESTONS TO MAKE, AS MOT OF THE PENSIONERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CGHS;
4) THEREFORE, AS ALREADY INFORMED TO YOU THIS PARTICULAR POINT MAY BE TAKEN WITH THE GOVERNMENTOF INDIA AND ITS ESTABLISHSMENT MAY BE EXPEDITED;
5) THERE IS NO SUITABLE BUILDING, BUDGET, PARA FERNELIA TO START THE CGHS DISPENARY, IF IT IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED THAT SUCH ONE IS GRANTED;
6) MANY PENSIONERS ARE POOR AND ARE IN DIRE NECESSITY FOR GETTING PROPER TRETMENT BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED AND WHAT TO DO AND A FEW FINANCIALLY BETTER OFFS/INSURANCE POLICY HOLDERS ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT IT AND ARE NOT ANY INTEREST THAT IS REQUIRED;
7) EVEN IF THE CGHS DISPENSARY COMES US IT GIVES ONLY OUTDOOR TREATMENT AND FOR INDOOR TREATMENT, WE HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO HYDERBAD, CAPITAL FOR BOTH STATES OF ANDHRA PRADSESH AND TELENGANA. IT IS IMPRACTICAL TO MAKE A JOURNEY TO HYDERABAD DUE TO PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES AND GETTING TREATMENT IN CGHS EMPANELLED HOSPITALS;
8) AS PROPOSED IN THE VIITH PAY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS, ALL THE STATE GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS RECOGNIZED IN VISAKHAPATNAM AND ELSEWHERE IN ANDHRA PRADESH (AS AN ERSTWHILE COMBINED STATE) MAY BE AUTOMATICALLY TREATED AS CGHS RECOGNIZED HOSPITALS;
9),AS PER THE CENTRAL SERVICES (MEDICAL ATTENDANCE) RULES, 1944 (WHICH IS A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT APPROVED AND EVOLVED RULES BOOK) ALL STATE GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED HOSPITALS ARE AUTOMATICALLY TREATED AS CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS AND ALL THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SERVING EMPLOYEES COULD AUTOMATICALLY GET TREATED AND THE HOSPITALS GET THEIR REIMBURSEMENT DIRECT FROM THE DEPARTMENTS;
10) AS THESE RULES ARE APPLICABLE TO SERVING GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ONLY, PENSIONERS ARE LEFT OUT TO THE MERCY OF NATURE AND TO THEIR FATE.
11) WHEN THAT IS SO, IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD WHEY THE SAME SHOULD NOT BE MADE APPLICABLE TO PENSIONERS ALSO.AS THE PRIVATE CORPORATE HOSPITALS APPROVED BY RESPECTIVE STATE GOVERNMENTS COULD BE FOND WELL EQUIPPED AND UPTO THE MEDICAL STANDARDS, WHY THE SAME ARE TO BE EXAMINED AND APPROVED AND EMPANELLED WHEN IT COMES TO PENSIONERS; BEYOND MEDICAL STANDARES, WHAT IS REQUIRED IS SIGNING MOU AND EXECUTING A BOND-THESE ARE THE TWO REQUIREMENT FOR EMPANELLEMENT BUT THE HEALTH DIRECTORATE IS NOT COMING FORWARD AND ARE INSISTING ON CGHS DISPENSARY, EVEN AFTER ITS REQUIREMENT IS WAIVED BY GOI ORDER;
12) THE CLAUSE IN THE RELAXED RULE OF CGHS SAYS IT HAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY CGHS DOCTOR OR BY A STATE GOVERNMENT DOCTOR THAT A PATIENT (EMPLOYEE OR PENSIONER) IS SUFFERING FROM A PARTICULAR DISEASE TO AVOID FRAUD. WHEN THAT IS SO THERE ARE SO MANY FOREIGN RETURNED GOVERNMENT DOTORS WORKNG IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS ARE AVIALBLE, IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD WHEY THE HEALTH DIRECTORATE IN DELHI IS DEMANDING THE PRESENCE OF CGHS DISPENSARY?
12) SOME TIME BACK, AS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWS PAPERS, GOVT HAS SAID CGHS HOSPITALS CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED IN EACH DISTRICT HQS BASED ON ECONOMICAL CONDITIONS;
13) THIS IS RIDICULOUSNESS AS THEY CANNOT THROW AWAY THE PENSIONERS TO THE WINDS AFTER UTILIZING THEIR SERVICES DURING THEIR BEST PART OF THE LIFE AND NOW IN A HELPLESS STATE WITH POOR ECONOMY AND UNCOOPERATIVE FAMILY SET UP..
14) THIS AUTOMATIC CGHS RECOGNITION OF ALL THE STATE GOVERNMENT APPROVED HOSPITALS MAY BE DONE IMMEDIATELY IRRESPECTIVE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CGHS DISPENSARY SO THAT PENSIONERS WHO ARE IN DIRE NECESSITY OF MEDICAL AID COULD BENEFIT FROM THE SAME;
15) AS THE SANCTION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF CGHS DISPENSARY IN VISAKHAPATNAM IS ANNOUNCED BY THE HONOURABLE MINISTER, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT DUE TO PROCEDURAL DELAYS AND OFFICIAL APATHY/I VESTED OFFICIALS SELFISH INTEREST IT IS BEING DELAYED AND IS UNDERGOING TEETHING TROUBLES AND THE VERBAL SANCTION MAY LAPSE WITH THE LAPSE OF TIME; HENCE THE MAY ALSO BE PUSHED AND PRESSURIZED TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY AND POWER;
I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS TAKEN UP WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH AND INTEREST ALL MOST ALL THE PENSIONERS IN INDIA PARTICULARLY IN AP WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU.
THANKING YOU
YOURS SINCERELY,
MURALI SOMAYAJULA, PENSIONERS (CENTRAL)
