Even as
the Medical College teachers threaten to launch an agitation against
redeploying doctors at the Medical Colleges to run the newly set up Medical
colleges at Manjeri and Idukki, the government has stated that the decision
to redeploy them was taken based on a report of the Director of Medical
Education (DME).
The
government has made it clear that the DME, who was asked for a report on the
staff pattern, had given a report that there were more teachers as per the
norms of the Medical Council of India in the existing medical colleges. ''When
the file for creating posts at the new medical colleges was sent to the Finance
Department, it had asked for a report of the staff pattern in the Medical
Colleges. The DME was entrusted with the task and the director had reported
that there were more teachers in the Medical Colleges as per the MCI Norms,''
Health Minister V S Sivakumar said.
On the notice served by the Kerala Government Medical College Teachers
Association (KGMCTA) that they would go for a strike if Government issues an
order with respect to redeployment, he said that the government has nothing to
do in this. ''It is their head who said in the report that the medical colleges
had more teachers than the prescribed MCI norms and the doctors can be
redeployed. It was only after this report that the government had moved ahead
in the issue,'' he said.
