The discussion focused on the general issues pertaining to the health sector, a Ministry spokesman told the Daily News yesterday.

Besides, each union had presented detailed and written views, comments and their demands to the Sub Committee, he added.

Spokesman said apart from this meeting, Health Minister P. Dayaratne is expected to meet each trade union representative separately for further discussions in due course.
