The Supreme Court has summoned additional health secretaries/senior-most health department officials of states and Union Territories, including those of Punjab, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi, for failing to comply with its directions to frame uniform standards for patient safety in intensive care units (ICUs) and critical care facilities.
A Bench led by Justice A Amanullah asked the Additional Chief Secretaries or senior-most Health Department officials concerned of defaulting states/UTs to personally appear before it on November 20 – the next date of hearing — to explain the failure.
Terming it a “serious” issue, the Bench said, “In our considered opinion, it is now time for the court to take serious cognizance of such casualness shown by the States/Union Territories.”
