Principal Secretary (H&FW) holds meeting on Delhi Health Service on 28-6-07
DADWA was represented by its Secretary. It also pointed out that the last meeting of the committee on DHS on 6-6-07 was inconclusive as the then Spl. Secretary (H) had sought complete secrecy while discussing the contents of the cabinet note on formation of DHS. The associations did not accept the secrecy condition.
Multiple seniority queues in CHS and consequent problems of seniority among the members were highlighted. DADWA emphasized that the importance of a common seniority queue in several other organized services to sort out the issues of transfers, promotions and seniority etc.
The Chair asked both the associations of doctors present in the meeting to submit their views on those Rules of CHS that need amendments.
For detail news, Please consult www.dadwa.comThe first meeting of the committee constituted by GNCTD about Delhi Health Service was held on Wednesday 6-6-07 at 11:30 AM under chairmanship of the Spl. Secretary (H) Mr. K.S. Wahi. The meeting was attended by nominee of MOHFW, Service Dept. of GNCTD, DS (H) and members of DADWA, CHS non-teaching Specialists' Association and of the teaching faculty of MAMC.
The Chair insisted that only one member per association should attend as some secret documents were to be discussed. DADWA requested him not to do so as its representative assisted by 3 observers was obliged to inform all the members about the developments. After initial resistance the chair relented after DADWA gave a written representation.
The Chair felt that the Delhi Govt. wanted DHS to be a model cadre with some improvements over the CHS Model. It was decided that the members would go through the CHS Rules in detail so that the issue can be taken up in the right earnest.

New Delhi: Apprehensive government doctors have thrown a spanner in the works of the proposed Delhi Health Services (DHS) cadre. With the last date of ''opting'' for either the DHS or the central health service to which the doctors currently belong, which was to get over on May 15, only ''a handful'' of the 4,000-odd government doctors have submitted their options. The health department which cannot move ahead with the formation of the cadre without these options, has now been forced to extend the deadline by another two months and is all set for fresh rounds of talks to convince the doctors.
The DHS cadre, one of the long-standing proposals of the department, is being started to put an end to perpetual manpower woes. The hospitals currently draw manpower from the CHS, thus necessitating the incumbents to specify which cadre they want to belong to. Confusion about what rules and pay scales DHS would follow had caused the apprehension among doctors about promotion avenues and other facilities in DHS.
Principal Secretary (health) D S Negi said: ''a meeting with Union health ministry decided that DHS will follow all CHS rules and pay scales. We received the letter only a few days ago. But since the deadline was to get over on May 15, we extended it by two months and will need to talk to them afresh.''
Even after doctors give the options, the department has to do the cadre allotment in consultation with the Union Public Service Commission, he added. Of the 2,500-odd sanctioned posts of general duty medical officers in Delhi government, about 400 are currently vacant. Of the 1,000-odd specialists' posts, 52 are vacant. But the real problem with the DHS plan is the 700-odd ad hoc appointees who are not encadred.
