Junior Doctors and TNGDA - Few Questions and Answers

Special TNPSC: It was TNGDA which got special TNPSC for these 10a1 batches every time – be it at 1990/ 2002 or 2007 (CMC batch) or 2008. The G.O. (D) No 1162 dated 07.10.2008 was issued on the behest of TNGDA – asking TNPSC to hold a special exam.

But unfortunately (based on a request sent to TNPSC from govt a year ago) a regular TNPSC exams were called for. This is an accident, totally unexpected.

TNGDA took the issue with the TNPSC citing the following justifications:

1.      There will be double entry by the 10a1 doctors – both in regular and special exams leading to extra work and lesser recruitment than desired.

2.      The seniors working as 10a1 in rural PHCs may lose their seniority to newly recruited juniors.

3.      With less number of vacancies – doctors recruited by regular exams may oust and replace the 10a1 already working.

The TNPSC officials were firm in that by their rules – as the notification has been issued for regular exams (though accidental), they can hold special exams only after the completion of the regular exams.

As TNPSC is an autonomous body like election commission etc. – an association action will not possible. TNGDA requested the HM, HS to use their good offices for our demand. They assured TNGDA that NO one will be ousted at any situation. They would try to speed up the special exams.

Even on 7^th July (after the strike) the Hon HM rang up TNPSC Chairman in the presence of TNGDA office bearers – to speed up the issue.

Though TNGDA welcomes support from any forum, the suspicious behaviour of a non service forum (? offiliated to political party) in most issues were infact counter productive. Friends (very few numbers) in such forums should know that it is against conduct rules to have membership in political affiliated forums. (more so in an opposition related forums).

More so their ways – agitation against TNPSC – demanding special exams is nothing but a drama, infact counter productive. Many a time our request was not heard because it was messed up by our friends in such forums. Even the present CRRI/ Non service PG (though very genuine) issue is complicated and has reached Hon CM as instigated. (read CM speech in assembly).

Friends, TNGDA is trying its best to speed up the conduct of special exams.

Mobile doctors:

Mobile drs are just like any other 10a1 – timescale doctor. He/she can opt any post in transfer (as in recent transfer counseling). But their pay is from NRHM funds. Hence paid thro’ society.

But for all other administrative and other purposes, they will be taken on par with other 10a1 service. (for pre-PG mandatory service etc).

Though the salary is paid thro’ NRHM funds, the NRHM has turned down grant for pay commission arrears from its funds. TNGDA has taken up this with the govt. The govt. has agreed to pay the arrears (after getting finance concurrence) from govt. funds. (instead of NRHM funds).

The process has been started. TNGDA will ensure this. Every mobile doctor will get his full arrears due to him.

10a1/ CMC Batch demands:

TNGDA by principal is always for recruitment of assistant surgeons by regular TNPSC (as recruitment thro’ other methods can make members vulnerable and selection biased). This idea is just to ensure that there should be no harassment to our temporarily posted members and the recruitment fair. (some of our present state office bearers were 10a1 doctors joined in 1990).

·         But once recruited, it was TNGDA which got special TNPSC for these 10a1 batches every time – be it at 1990/ 2002 or 2007 (CMC batch) or 2008. 

·         TNGDA got them regularized from the date of joining – 1990 / 2002 (also for CMC batch)

·        TNGDA got a G.O. (later quashed in High Court) including the CMC period for calculating the mandatory 3 years for writing PG entrance.

·         This year it is TNGDA which got the mandatory period reduced to 2 years from 3 years (Resistance to this reduction is gaining momentum in official side;  and possibly this will be raised to 3 years next year – as done for superspeciality)

·         It is TNGDA which got PHC doctors an extra mark in PG exams (benefiting juniors). Doctors in CEmONC, Casualty, difficult postings etc may be given this benefit next year.

CMC Batch – 2007 Special TNPSC exams Regularization orders:

As per the TNPSC the seniority from the date of passing the special exams. But as doctors of different 10a1 batches (1990/ 2002/ 2006 batches) wrote the exams, there was confusion over the date of regularization. TNGDA has represented that the date of joining should be taken up the date of regularisation for all batches. Few queries raised at the P &  AR / Health depts. over the date of regularization for those 10a1 candidates joined in 1990 &  2002 (failed in earlier spl exams). The file is being processed. TNGDA assures issuance of order by the end of this month.

Government doctors to observe token strike today

Staff Reporter

Demanding implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations

TIRUCHI: Government doctors in Tiruchi district will take part in the one-day token strike called by the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association on July 6 (Monday) demanding Central pay scales.

Conveying this to the media here on Sunday, the president of the district branch of the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association S. Selvapandian said that 350 doctors working in Annal Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital in the Tiruchi, K.A.P. Viswanatham Government Medical College, Government Hospitals in 13 taluks, Government ESI Hospital and Primary Health Centres in the district will participate in the strike demanding the implementation of the Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendations for Government doctors in the State.

Dr. Selvapandian said the doctors would not conduct elective surgeries on July 6 at the hospitals and would stay off from ward rounds. There would not be outpatient services. However, emergency and life saving services would be maintained at the Annal Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital by a team, he said. Over 10,000 doctors across the State would join the strike on Monday.

Though the association had been insisting on rectification of disparity in pay and promotion opportunities of government doctors in Tamil Nadu in comparison with their counterparts in Central government and other States and highlighted the issues to the State government, their plea had been ignored. As a result, the association has been forced to resort to a token strike, he said.

Claiming that the salary paid to the government doctors in the State was the lowest in the country, he said what the Association had been demanding was a decent pay. “We are not asking for any allowances like the one given to Central government doctors but only Central pay scales,” Dr. Selvapandian said.

Though a time-bound promotion was in vogue for Central government doctors, the promotion for doctors in the State took a long time. The government doctors in the State were denied voluntary retirement even after completing 20 years, he alleged.

Sir,

The Tamil Nadu Govt. Doctors Association has resolved to go in for various forms of agitations to press our demand to implement the “Doctors Special Promotion Scheme” recommended by the 6th Central Pay Commission and parity with central doctors.

As a part of the agitation, I am willing to opt for Voluntary Retirement from Service. I have put in more than 20 years of service.

I am forced to take this decision in view of the poor promotion opportunities, poor pay scales and heavy work load and poor infrastructure.

In case if the demands for Pay Parity are NOT met, please permit me to go on VRS.

But still I hope that our Honourable Chief Minister Dr Kalaignar will accept the TNGDA demand and in such case I would withdraw this VRS letter and rededicate myself to the service of the poor and the state.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Sir,

Greetings from TamilNadu Government Doctors Association.

As resolved by the Tamil Nadu Govt. Doctors Association it has been already informed that the association will go for 1 day token strike on 6.7.2009 to press our demand to implement the “Doctors Special Promotion Scheme” recommended by the 6th Central Pay Commission,

In order to avoid public inconvenience, it has been resolved to maintain emergency and life saving services on that day at all the district headquarters hospital and medical college hospitals/ institutes. The association has volunteered to depute the following members for the purpose. They will NOT sign the attendance register but will work to save lives.

The association request you to kindly give permission and let the “emergency team” work.

Thanking you,

With regards,

Yours truly,



(Secretary)

TNGDA, __________ district
