00:00Dato Sri, what is the result of the special investigation report on the case of the bully doctor in Lahat, Dato?
00:06We have just started the investigation, I just met with the director, Tan Sri Burhan,
00:14to get a little bit of information to know the stage of their investigation to start.
00:26We have set up an independent panel from the KKM.
00:36We hope that in terms of term of reference, the POR will be placed on the issue of bullying the doctor.
00:48But also directly or indirectly, it is also bullying in a more general way.
01:00Not only the death of the doctor, but also the entire bullying case.
01:06Especially those that we are familiar with, our facilities and the countries that we have a list of
01:13that will be continued for another 3 months for us to see the entire country and the entire issue of bullying.
01:22That's our job.
01:24There are calls for review of the 30-hour long on-call hours for the KKM. Look into this.
01:32We are now looking, we are now having a more generic question of supply and demand of our human resource deployment.
01:48Within that framework, we will be able to address specific issues like that.
01:57You may or may not quite realise there is this issue, it's not like everywhere.
02:03This is why we've got to understand the gaps, we've got to understand where the shortfalls are,
02:10and then we've got to give the correct prescription before the prescription may not be.
02:16So that's very important.
02:18So all these things, and in terms of the budget, we hope to be able to reflect over the concern of our healthcare workers and our staff.
02:31We hope so too.
02:33Due consideration be given to our healthcare workers in our facilities.
