The BJP-led Centre has sent an advisory to all State Governments and Union Territory administrations to consider regulating the pay/salaries of nurses working at or employed in private hospitals/clinics across the country.

A petition submitted to the Centre by the All India Nurses` Confederation had earlier requested the Centre to regulate and revise the pay and allowances/sararies of nurses working in various private hospitals/clinics in the country as per recommendations of the VII Pay Commission.

Speaking on the floor of the Lok Sabha in Parliament yesterday, Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare J.P. Nadda said that the Centre has sent an appropriate advisory to all State Governments/UT administrations to take action as deemed fit to ensure that nurses working in private clinics/hospitals are paid good salaries.

“We have asked the States/UTs to no more delay the process of regulating the working or functioning of private medical institutions. We have also said that if the need arose, the Centre won`t hesitate to enact a separate Act in this regard. We have accepted a few demands put forward by the Nurses` Federation on minimum wages/salaries to be paid,” the Minister told the Members.
