From
the Commissioner, A.P. Vaidya Vidhana Parishad Lr. Rc.No: 8557/M3/93, dt.
18.11.1995.
ORDER:
The Commissioner, A.P. Vaidya Vidhana
Parishad in her letter read above has stated that in G.O.Ms.No. 306 M&H,
dated 25.5.1983, Government accorded sanction for the establishment of District
Medical Boards in the District Hospitals in the Stale in addition to the
existing Reginal Medical Boards in the Teaching Hospitals. After formation of
A.P. Vaidya Vidhana Parishad the District Hospitals have come under the
administrative control of the Parishad and in pursuance of G.O.Ms.No. 289
M&H (Kl) Dept., dated 6.5.87, the District Medical Boards are functioning
under the administrative control of the APV VP. The Medical Boards established
at the District Hospitals are attending to the Medical Invalidation cases of
Government Servants referred to them by various Government Departments in
respect of the employees working under them. The Superintendent
of the District Hospital is also playing the role of District Coordinator for
the other hospitals and is thus designated as District Co-ordinator of Hospital
Services. On account of heavy work in the Hospital itself, many of them are
unable to monitor what is happening in the Area Hospitals and Community
Hospitals. Some of the recent surprise inspections of Chief Minister also have
thrown these issues into relief. This being the present position, a lot of time
for the in-handling cases of medical invalidation on the part of Government employees.
A large number of people have just about 5 years of service before superannuation
approach the Hospital superintendents for invalidation certificates. This is with a view to securing employment
for the son or daughter of the employees seeking retirement on medical grounds.
The Superintendents, thus have to spend a lot of time on these aspects and are
unable to effectively make tours to tone up the working of the other Area and
Community Hospitals.
2.
In the circumstances stated above, Government feel that the proposal of the
Commissioner, A.P. Vaidya Vidhana parishad to form Regional Medical Boards at
the Teaching Hospitals and attach two or three districts to a teaching hospital
appears to be a reasonable proposal.
3.
Government after careful examination and with a view to streamlining the work
of Medical Boards hereby delink the issue of Medical Invalidation Certificates
from the A.P. Vaidya Vidhana Parishad District Hospitals and entrust the work
to the teaching hospitals. The table below shows the districts attached to the
Medical Board of the Teaching Institutions.
