To
The Director of Health Services,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
Port Blair.
Sir,
It has been reported to this Association that Community Health Officers working under the Health Department are not being paid the Nursing Allowance even though they are part of the nursing functions. It is observed that various categories of staff like Matron, ANM, LHV, Public health Nurse, etc. are getting the Nursing Allowance while the same is denied to the CHOs. Being part of the health care system, the CHOs are also eligible for Nursing Allowance. The guidelines issued by the Health Department elaborating the duties and responsibilities of CHOs show that they are carrying out the clinical work. In fact, they have been getting this allowance till a few years back and it was unilaterally dis-continued on untenable reasons.
I would, therefore, request you kindly to examine this case and grant the Nursing Allowance to all the Community Health Officers working under the Health Department as has been done in the case of other similarly placed employees and, thus, render justice to them.
Yours faithfully,
(D. Ayyappan)
