Answer given by the minister


THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI A. RAJA)

(a)to(c): Earlier an estimate amounting to Rs.1,32,89,500/- was received from CPWD for construction of the dispensary building at Dilshad Garden. As it was decided to restrict the construction cost so as not to exceed Rs.1.00 crore, revised drawings were got prepared by the Central Design Bureau, DGHS, which have now been approved for preparation of revised preliminarily estimates by the CPWD.

It is not possible to fix any time frame for construction of the CGHS dispensary building at Dilshad Garden as the same depends on the completion of the necessary administrative formalities, availability of budget provision, etc.
