The judges wanted to know if it was true that the staff, in collusion with doctors, deliberately sabotage equipment so that they could refer patients to private diagnostic centres and collect a commission.
Madurai: The Madras High court Tuesday sought from the Tamil Nadu health secretary and other officials the details of facilities provided in district hospitals and the strength of staff in these institutions. A bench of Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice S S Sundar put forth the questions while hearing public interest litigation (PIL) seeking to provide scanners and other equipment to the Ramanathapuram district hospital and also fill the vacancies for doctors.
