SJB MP Dr Harsha de Silva today questioned in Parliament a move by the government to rename the ‘Suwaseriya’ ambulance service and changes the colours.
He said the service was introduced as a ‘Pre-hospital care’ service and not just an ambulance service.
He said that a directive has been given to rename the service and introduce ‘their colour’ (party colours’.)
Dr de Silva who played a key role in establishing the service with Indian assistance in 2018 said if the government needs to make changes they need to introduce an amendment to the Act.
He said the logo of the service is registered under the act.
The MP pointed out that the service provides help to some 1,500 persons a day travelling some 28,000 k.m.
