The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Some 2,000 nurses Tuesday rallied outside the Government House, demanding the government speedily appoint them and their fellow nurses to 17,000 civil service positions.

The nurses currently serve as temporary employees at nationwide health service units.

Rallying outside the Government House, the nurses demanded to know progress of their previous request submitted to Wittaya on March 26 for the government to assign the OCSC and the State Resources and Policy Specification Committee to place temporary nurses into civil service positions.

The nurses also urged links between the Public Health Ministry and the OCSC system be severed. They claimed OCSC didn't understand the health system and health personnel shortages when considering civil service position vacancies.
