In 2011-12, Rajiv Gandhi Super-Speciality (RGSS) hospital had spent Rs 4.83 crore out of a budget allocation of Rs 5 crore. The following year, the allocation was increased to Rs 6 crore even though the expenditure on medical treatment remained the same - Rs 2 lakh. Against an actual expenditure of Rs 4.49 crore, official expenses and salaries accounted for Rs 2.25 crore and Rs 1.4 crore, respectively.
Auditors found the hospital bought two pieces of equipment--a fully automatic chemistry analyser and automatic hematology cell counter--worth nearly Rs 4 lakh. No use was found for both. "These machines were later transferred to Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital without the permission of higher authorities," the auditors noted.
At least 12 other medical equipment, including ECG system, digital ultrasound and binocular microscopes, were found to be either not used or under-utilized ever since they were bought. The auditing also revealed improper maintenance of stock registers for consumables and non-consumables.
The Janakpuri Super-Speciality hospital was given a budget allocation of Rs 5 crore against which an expenditure of Rs 4.91 crore was made during 2009-10. In 2011-12, the hospital was allocated Rs 5. crore and it spent Rs 5.76 crore. Auditors revealed that while so much was being spent on the hospital, it was only providing OPD services to an average of 100 patients per day. A major chunk, of course, of the money was going into payment of salaries, maintenance of the building, office expenses, contingent expenditure etc.
Pharmacy records revealed the quantity (of medicines) shown in the distribution register on a particular date did not match with the issue register. For example, in March 2012, the pharmacy claimed to have issued 16 injections of Asthelin (used in asthma and chronic bronchitis patients) but only three found mention in the distribution record.
The auditors pointed that delay in commissioning of hospital has resulted in blockage of government funds as well as undue wastage of government property for an indefinite period.
"This is sheer waste of public funds. In our hospital, we are not able to do surgeries for lack of equipment and here machines worth crores lie unused. Lakhs are being spent on water and power supplies though there is no patient service," said a surgeon at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya hospital in west Delhi.
