Health Minister Ma. Subramanian informed the Assembly on Wednesday that Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had advised the Health Department to help the medical professionals who had signed up for a one-year contract to work in Amma Clinics, when vacancies crop up in the future.
Mr. Subramanian was responding to Deputy Leader of the Opposition O. Panneerselvam, who had raised the issue of the closure of Amma Clinics. Mr. Subramanian said the previous AIADMK government recruited the medical professionals on contract for a year, and did not recruit them under the Medical Recruitment Board process.
