Islamabad: (Parliament Times) The meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on National Health Services Regulation and Coordination on Thursday was adjourned due to the absence of Minister and Secretary, National Health Services Regulation and Coordination. The Committee took serious notice of this matter and was of the view that Parliamentary Committee is an apex forum and must be taken seriously. Chairperson Committee, Senator Khushbakht Shujat opined that this was blatant show of irresponsibility on the part of the Ministry.
Members asserted that a Privilege Motion will be moved against the Secretary. This is a breach of privilege of Parliament and only through Parliamentary Committee; recommendations can be made for implementation by the Competent Authority.
Chaired by Senator Khushbakht Shujat, the meeting was attended by Senator Bahramand Khan Tangi, Senator Dr. Sikander Mandhro, Senator Dr. Ghous Muhammad Khan Niazi, Senator Dr. Mehr Taj Roghani, Senator Sana Jamali, Senator Muhammad Javed Abbasi, Senator Sardar Muhammad Shafiq Tareen and senior officers from Ministry of Health.
