Drilon, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, bared that Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad has given the go signal to grant Health Secretary Enrique Ona an authorization to hire an additional 10,000-12,500 nursing professionals in the government workforce.
Ibig sabihin, nangangailangan ng nurses pero ang vacant positions ay clerks o administrative staff. Nag-usap ako, si Sec. Abad at Sec. Ona, nagkasundo kami na bigyan ng authorization ang DoH between now and the end of the year, magkakaroon ng mula 10,000-12,500 na nurses na iha-hire ng DoH.
