A slanging match over health care in TN
Deccan ChronicleChennai: Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami and State Health Minister M Subramanian indulged in a slanging match over the condition of the health care system in the State by both coming out with their own lists of failures and successes of the department during the DMK regime. It started with Palaniswami issuing a statement on Wednesday, hitting out at the DMK government for not providing quality health care to the people. Enumerating the various schemes relating to health care that were launched by the present DMK government, Subramanian said the awards given away by the Union Government were testimony to the development of health care systems during the past three years. Referring to the long list of medical negligence cases cited by Palaniswami to point out the failure of the DMK government, the Minister said that if he were to present a list of such cases reported during the AIADMK regime, it would turn out to be very long and exhaustive.
