*As far as possible Officers of the rank of Major or equivalent may be engaged on contractual
basis.
** The quality control manager should be hired by the hospital at the time of initiating the
process of NABH/ NABL/ NAAC Accreditation. They will be required for continuous
assessment, rating and surveillance by board/ authorities. They may also be utilized by the
hospital administration as per other functional requirement.
*** For the services that were earlier being rendered by the erstwhile cadre of Nursing Orderly
and allied cadres.
All outsourced services are to be procured through GeM only keeping in mind the existing
guidelines and circulars issued from time to time by the Hqrs office. The concerned Dean/
Medical Superintendent are directed to hire the contractual and outsource staff on actual
requirement basis only and not merely based on the sanction/ release letter. The sanction given
for contractual and outsource staff is upper ceiling and the engagement shall never overshoot
the specified number. All contractual and outsourced staff engagement shall be duly concurred
by local finance considering bed occupancy, actual workload, local incidences and other issues.
Note: The manpower sanctioned is subject to the condition that 100 beds are commissioned. In
the event that the number of commissioned beds is less than 100, the unit shall obtain approval
from Hqrs for the manpower to be released. Such approval shall be decided in consultation with
Medical Services and with the information/concurrence of F&A Hqrs.
The Finance Division has accorded their concurrence vide their note #87 of the e-file of even
number.
It is further informed that in case of any variations from the above, the unit may send the
proposal after due certification by the local finance.
The revised sanction strength supersedes all previous sanctions issued in this regard.
The above sanction is inclusive of manpower required for functioning of 10 HDU beds i.e.
10% of Commissioned Beds.
This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.
Yours faithfully,
Assistant Director (MA)
