SIBU, April 21 Senator Robert Lau has urged Putrajaya to return healthcare autonomy to Sarawak following the debacle over the Health Ministry’s (MoH) delivery of inoperational used ventilators to aid hospitals in the state in the war against Covid-19.
He said this must include the fair distribution of the federal annual budget to cater for the whole healthcare operation in Sarawak, reiterating a call he had made twice in his debate on the national budget in the Senate.
“Looking ahead, I believe the only way for a fairer relationship between Sarawak and the Federal government is for full autonomy over healthcare to be returned to Sarawak,” he said in a statement.
