MACHANG: The issue of staff shortage involving the Health Ministry is being scrutinised according to the requirements of vacancies for positions such as doctors and nurses, says Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
She said the ministry was also looking at employee placement so that there would not be an excess of staff in government hospitals and clinics.
Also present were Deputy Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad and Kelantan Health Department director Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin. "If there is a vacancy, we can absorb them into permanent positions. So, for the time being, we will extend their contracts first," she said.
