Mangalore, February 18: State Minister for Medical Education S A Ramadas on Friday directed the Government Wenlock Hospital authority to serve notices to its as many as 48 staff including doctors and nurses unauthorised absenteeism during his visit.

Strict disciplinary measure is the only way to teach a lesson to the irresponsible doctors and other staff, said an enraged minister, who shocked to know that 49 staff out of a total strength of 483 in the hospital had chosen to stay away from the duty, despite the advance information that he would hold a meeting with them at 11:30 am on Friday.

On enquiry, Mr Ramadas came to know that only one staff out of 49 absentees had applied for leave and all other 48 members were on illegal leave.

After the inspection and review meeting at Wenlock Hospital, the minister also visited the nursing hostel located behind it. He asked the authorities for a proper estimate to be submitted relating to the repair works of the hostel building, where he noticed damages and leakages in the roof.

Mr Ramdas also inspected Government Lady Goshen Hospital and KMC Hospital before visiting pharmacy colleges in the city.

MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik and VHP leader Jagadish Shenava also accompanied the minister.
