Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Saturday demanded action against the health secretary over the alleged supply of sub-standard quality drugs to city government-run hospitals, an issue into which the Lt Governor has recommended a CBI inquiry. Demanding that Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena take action against the secretary as well as a former director of the Directorate of Health Services-Delhi (DHS), he told a press conference that in ”July-August some medicines’ samples were sent for testing, and out of 43 samples, five were found not to be meeting standards”. ”I learnt about it after one and a half months during discussions about the matter,” said Bharadwaj, who was allotted the health portfolio in March.
