Following suggsstions are made for the improvements in medical care to the veterans and their dependants:-

(ii)The requirement of this financial year is approx Rs 7000 Crs against which less than Rs 5000/Crs have been alloted. Bills of empanelled Hospitals pending
(4/n) as of date are approx 1000 Crs
(d)Less than 40% medicines are available in ECHS Clinics. Veterans are asked to purchase the medicines from market with their own funds and claim the amount. The procedure of claim takes more than four months and is tedious Not desirable.
