REF: 1. Corrigendum dated 15-3-07 to Public Notice of Dept. of H&FW appearing on 2-2-

07 in Times of India & The Hindu Reg. Delhi Health Service

2. Decisions taken in the meeting dated 1-3-07 under Chairmanship of Hon'ble

Minister of Health GNCTD [Ref.F.70/49/2006/ H&FW/PF/26-31 dated 26-3-07]

Sir,

I am a member of Central Health Service posted under GNCTD.
With reference to above said notice dated 2-2-07 and corrigendum thereof, I hereby state that I am awaiting declaration of terms and conditions of the Delhi Health Service by the H&FW Dept. of GNCTD before I exercise my option to join Delhi Health Service. I have learnt that the H&FW Dept. is going to formulate the R/R, terms and conditions of Delhi Health Service (DHS) in consultation with UPSC. I have also written a letter to my present cadre controlling authority viz. GOI MOHFW in this regard.

I understand that in a meeting with Delhi Administration Doctors' Welfare Association on 1-3-07, the H&FW Dept., among many other things, decided to make the terms and conditions of Delhi Health Service similar to that of Central Health Service. Consequently, the last date for submission of options was extended from 15-3-07 to 15-4-07 so as to make the said terms available to members of CHS like me before they exercise option to join Delhi Health Service.

In view of the said letter dated 26-3-07 of the DS (H), I believe requisite action is being taken. But, as 15-4-07 is fast approaching, I request you to provide me details of the terms and conditions of the DHS including Cadre-structure, identification of posts, recruitment rules, promotional avenues, career growth, pension and other benefits so that I am able to exercise my option to join DHS. Till then, kindly extend the last date of submission as well.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(Dr. ………………………..)

NEWS LETTER

Dear Friends.

JACSDO is back in this News Letter after a period of six months.

The three vital issues are pending in front of us

1. Recommendations of Javed Choudhry Committee
2. Cadre Review of Central Health Service
3. VIth Central Pay Commission.

All of you are aware of that the two vital recommendations of Javed Choudhry Committee Report are under process and is in advance stage of implementation.

In this regard we want to inform you that two vital recommendations are (i) enhancement of retirement age of all CHS officers to 62 years (ii) to release stagnation at NFSG scale and put to SAG scale to those who have completed five years in NGSG scale till 31^st March, 2006. The retirement age in respect of Specialist Sub Cadre has already been implemented and also the same will be extended to GDMO Sub Cadre very soon as it is in the advance stage of implementation. Regarding promotion to SAG scale for the incumbents who are stagnating at NFSG scale for more than five years till 31^st March, 2006 is also in advance stage of implementation as necessary procedural formalities are being completed.

The other recommendations of Javed Choudhry Committee report is being pursued with VIth Central Pay Commission.

Our Association has prepared the document for VIth CPC on holistic manner and submitted to the Commission. We had audience with the Chairman and other Members of the VIth CPC on 14^th Jan. 2007 where all issues were presented in a logistic manner.

Out of several proposals submitted to VIth Pay Commission we have pinpointed two vital proposals e.g. (i) to put to SAG scale on 9^th year of service and 16^th year of service for Specialist and GDMO sub cadre respectively. (ii) To upgrade, 50% of existing SAG posts of Central Health Service is also going on and we hope it will be finalized at the feedback from the different participating units of CHS. We also appeal to all the Head of the Department of the participating units to reply to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare which they have asked from the different organizations in a format regarding cadre structure and its proposal. Recently the DPC is conducted for 25 posts of Professor/ Director of teaching Sub Cadre and 108 posts of SAG of GDMO Sub Cadre. The order of promotion is expected to be issued within one month. The DPC for posts of Consultant for non-teaching Sub cadre and 12 posts of Additional DGHS for four sub cadre of CHS is still pending and JACSDO is pursuing with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare & UPSC for fixing the date of DPC at the earliest.

JACSDO is running short of funds and every activity of the Association is cost effective. We appeal to all of you to contribute @ Rs.1000/- per head in the name of JACSDO New Delhi" at the earliest so that we can pursue all the issues vigorously.

LONG LIVE JACSDO.

Dr Marwah

Need to make a representation by all members to the GOI MOHFW regarding the advertisement of GNCTD about Delhi health Service

Link for the Website is www.dadwa.com

A General Body Meeting of DADWA is being held on Sunday 25^th March 2007 at 2 PM at IMA Hall to discuss the various developments since the last GBM held on 6-3-07. A number of queries were being received by the steering committee of DADWA regarding the need to make a representation by all members to the GOI MOHFW regarding the advertisement of GNCTD about Delhi health Service. Meanwhile DADWA has approached the Principal Secretary (H&FW) again to issue the minutes of its meeting with HM and him on 1-3-07 when some important decisions were taken.

The Secretary to the Govt. of India,

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare,

Nirman Bhavan, New Delhi-110001

SUB: Option sought by Delhi Govt. from CHS Officers to join “Delhi Health Service”

w.r.t. its Public Notice dated 2-2-07 & Corrigendum thereof

Ref: Appointed to CHS since ………..… (notification No.A…………………… dt………)

“Through proper Channel”

Sir,

The Govt. of NCT of Delhi vide its OM dated 18-12-06 has notified formation of “Delhi Health Service (DHS)”. Subsequently on 2-2-07 it issued a notice in ‘The Times of India’ followed by its corrigendum on 15-3-07 wherein ‘option’ has been sought from members of Central Health Service as to whether they wish to join DHS or remain in CHS. D.H.S. as per the said notice is a new group ‘A’ service with similar terms and conditions as that of Central Health Service and that if I do not opt before 15-4-07, I would be reverted back to CHS. I am given to understand that GNCTD has taken this decision in consultation with M.O.H.F.W. and the advertisement dated 2-2-07 was released after approval of MOHFW (CHS).

In the light of above, I request you to,

1. Send me a copy of the terms and conditions of “Delhi Health Service” as approved by the GOI MOHFW either by post or by email at the earliest.
2. Allow me to maintain lien with by parent cadre for the time being till I finally get absorbed in the Delhi Health Service, if I choose to do so in the light of service conditions of DHS.
3. Guide me if I need to resign from CHS before I join the Delhi Health Service and whether my application should be routed through MOHFW GOI in case I respond to the said advertisement.
4. Please advise: If I do not opt for the “Delhi Health Service”, and choose to remain in CHS,
1. What would its possible impact on my service, pay, place of posting and career progression etc. since cadre posts of CHS under GNCTD would no more be there as these stand de-cadred as per OM dated 18-12-07 of GNCTD, thereby reducing the cadre strength of CHS?
2. How many CHScadre posts at various levels would be available in Delhi?

Sir, the above notice has added uncertainty and is a source of anxiety for me. Last date is near and terms and conditions of “Delhi Health Service” are not yet known to me. Please provide me the above information at the earliest and also take up matter with GNCTD so that option is not forced on me till conditions of the said service duly notified.

Yours faithfully,

Apprehensions

Apprehensions

 Whether the following category of Doctors can join the Delhi Health Service?

 

• Regularised cadre
• Doctors on contract for Six months
• CHS officers who has worked in Delhi Government for more than 20 years and recently transferred to CGHS

  If answer is yes than how the seniority will be fixed.

Dr Marwah

Option for CHS Officers

Option for CHS Officers

Before deciding the option, one should consider the following points:

1. CHS service is going to be All India Service.
2. Age of superannuation for CHS Officers in CHS Cadre is going to be 62.
3. CMO (NFSG) with five years service on 31 3 2006 are going to be promoted to SAG as a one time measure.
4. Place of posting will be undecided if opted for CHS cadre.
5. At present more than 700 CHS officers are in Delhi Administration. If All opted for CHS than CHS officers may be declared as surplus.
6. Around 114 officers are going to be promoted to SAG very soon.

Suggestions

• With reference to point 2 above:- Officers going to retire soon may opt for CHS
• With reference to point 3 above:- Officers may opt for CHS
• With reference to point 6 above:- Officers may opt for CHS
• Lady Officers may decide after considering their domestic responsibilities.
• Officers other than above may opt for DHS

Thanks
