These nursing staff are presently working in hospitals and medical institutions of GNCTD against regular sanctioned posts, it said.
While seeking approval from LG, the Health Department informed that the requisition for 1,507 posts of Nursing Officers has been advertised by DSSSB and the examination schedule is in this month.
Saxena, who has been insisting upon filling permanent posts on a regular basis rather than through adhoc measures, has approved the proposal directing once again that the vacancies should be filled in following due process including reservation norms at the earliest.
