2. UNIFORM GRADE PAY TO TECHNICAL

POSTS

The Technical posts as under have more or less

same nature of work of directly supervising the Doctors in

dealing the patients.

Their qualification period is also more or less of

two or three years Diploma courses and experience in that

particular field. We appeal to the 7th Pay Commission that

Health Ministry is amending the R.Rule of all these

Technical posts with 12th+Degree/Diploma in the

concerned stream . Uniform Grade pay of Rs.4600/- to be

allowed to all the Technical paramedical posts.

C.G.H.S

3. PROPER PROMOTIONAL CHANNELS FOR

ERSTWHILE GR D POSTS.

The Erstwhile Group D posts in CGHS such

as Dresser, Lab. Attendant, Female Attndt.

Nursing Attendant and many other such

posts which are sanctioned only for the

dispensaries. They directly deal with

patients in the dispensary’s day to day

work. Being a para medical post the Grade

pay should be upgraded to Rs.2000 and

these posts should have a separate

promotional channel. Accordingly other

MTS also to be upgraded.

C.G.H.S

4. UPGRADATION OF GRADE PAY OF LDC.

The post LDC is a big stigma and an unwarranted gift from the

British. During the British regime this post was created mainly for the

Indians to look after the lower level of administrative work in govt.

offices. The British left us 67 years ago, but the post of LDC still exists

The 6th Pay Commission further downgraded this post by offering

only Rs.1900 Grade Pay. The erstwhile Group D employees are drawing

more salary than the LDC. Most of our erstwhile Group D employees

are drawing grade pay of 2400 and 2800 on the other hand we have

LDCs who have completed more than 15 years service and drawing only

Rs.2000 grade pay.

In CGHS 70 to 80% LDCs are graduates, postgraduates or MBA.

LDCs are the backbone of CGHS administration.

Without them the whole administration will come to a standstill.

C.G.H.S

With the introduction of MACP wef September 2008 it further

aggravated the grievances of LDCs. ACP was more beneficial for the

LDCs in CGHS. Government not bothered to rectify the anomalies

created due to MACP.

One such anomaly is as follows:

Our appeal to the seventh Pay Commission to re designate the post

of LDC with some corporate name like Junior Executive or so.

The Grade pay of LDC to be upgraded to Rs.2800/- which it richly

deserves.

We sincerely hope that the seventh Pay Commission will bring smile

on the faces of thousands of LDCs throughout the country and

especially in CGHS where we join as LDC and retire as LDC.

Two LDCs in CGHS X Y

Date of Joining 24th Aug 1984 4th September 1984

1st ACP (UDC) 4000-8000 4000-8000

2nd ACP Gr Pay 4200 Not given

2nd MACP Gr Pay 2800

3rd MACP Gr. Pay 4600 Gr Pay 4200

Y joined only 10 days after X, for this he is deprived off Rs.4200

Grade pay for the second MACP. Total Un justice to Y and to the

whole cadre of LDC.

C.G.H.S

5. UNIFORM ALLOWANCE

HEALTH EMPLOYEES IN THE DELHI GOVERNMENT

ARE GETTING UNIFORM ALLOWANCE IN CASH IN LIEU OF

UNIFORM. IN CGHS ALSO THE STAFF NURSE ARE GETTING

UNIFORM ALLOWANCE IN CASH. THE UNIFORM THAT IS

SUPPLIED TO THE EMPLOYEES ARE OF LOWER QUALITY AND

THE STITCHING CHARGES ARE ALSO REIMBURSED AT A

VERY LOW RATE.

THEREFORE WE APPEAL TO THE SEVENTH PAY

COMMISSION THAT ALL THE EMPLOYEES IN CGHS SHOULD

GET UNIFORM ALLOWANCE AND WASHING ALLOWANCE IN

CASH AT PAR WITH STAFF NURSE.

C.G.H.S

6.CGHS OWN HOSPITAL/ DIAGNOSTIC

CENTRES IN ALL CGHS CITIES.

Government is incurring crores of rupees annually for the indoor

Treatment CGHS patients at Private hospitals . The expenditure

can be curtailed to a great extend if CGHS own hospital is opened in

all CGHS cities. The Parliamentary Standing Committee also strongly

Recommended for CGHS own hospital.

Further there are no diagnostic centres also. New diagnostic

centres, Laboratories and other attached facilities if made available

under one umbrella , patients need not have to run from pillar to post

to avail of these treatments.

A SUPER SPECIALTY HOSPITAL ON THE LINE OF RAILWAYS,

DEFENCE ETC SHOULD BE OPENED IN ALL THE CITIES SO THAT

THE BENEFICIARIES CAN AVAIL THE TREATMENT WITHOUT

ANY HURDLES.

C.G.H.S

On Behalf of all the Central Working Committee members and all

the branches of All India CGHS Employees Association we take this opportunity to thank the Committee members of the Seventh Pay Commission for inviting us for this short meeting at Mumbai on 8th November 2014 to share our suggestions/ideas related to the pay scales and other grievances of CGHS employees. We sincerely hope that all the points which we have raised in this meeting and through the proposal that we had submitted earlier will be taken into consideration positively.
