Sir, I rise to support the Demands of the Ministry of Health and Family Planning. The overall Impression one gathers /by reading this Report is that is the 54 pages devoted to the Department of Health, a sketchy picture has/ been presented of multifarious activities carried on by the Ministry of Health.  To my mind, chronic shortage haunts every/ hospital in every district and every State of the Union.  There is shortage of doctors, shortage of medicines, shortage of/ hospitals, primary health centres, dispensaries etc. What is worse is that- these things, especially medicines, are not available in a (100) pure form.  Yesterday, in reply to a question in Rajya Sabha, the Minister of State for Health conceded that the/ supply of Acrormycin in Irwin Hospital was ot of the required standard and that nothing could be done because the/ law stood in the way.  This brings to my mind the most important function that the Ministry should pay heed/ to, that is, the legislative aspect concerning medicines and food adulteration.  We are aware that the Prevention of Food Adulteration/ Act as passed in 1954 has failed to deliver the good, primarily because its functioning has been put into wrong (200) hands.  The Minister told Rajya Sabha yesterday that no action could be taken against the suppliers or manufacturers of these/ medicines or those who used it in Irwin Hospital simply because the Delhi Administration did not have the requisite powers. Except in Maharashtra where the implementation of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act is in the hand of the State/ Government, in all other State it has been handed over to the local bodies- municipal bodies, etc.  The implementation has/ been given to Sanitary a part-time basis.  According to (300) a newspaper report published in Hindustan Times, every fourth packet of food sample is adulterated. If this is the condition/ of the nation’s health and the nation is subjected to adulterated foodstuffs, whether we will have a good health in the days to come.  Similarly a scheme presented/ by the Ministry for Health nor you nor/ I can be sure whether we will have a good health in the days to come.  Similarly a scheme presented/ by the Ministry and put before the Planning Commission for proper enforcement of the Act was turned down by the/ Planning Commission. In such a situation, the steps the Ministry proposes to take should be rigorous.  They should first of (400) all think of the legislative aspect.  I demand categorically that the implementation of this Act should be taken over/from the local bodies and put.
