CONCERNS • Fund flow need to be streamlined • SHS are allocating funds to districts activity-wise rather than as flexible pool • RKS money not reaching the District Hospital & PHCs; user fees are also being deposited to the states
RECOMMENDATIONS • Decentralized planning to ensure district priorities are reflected in the State PIP • Administrative & fiscal functions need to be devolved to the district level • Fund flow need to be streamlined, ensure timely release of RKS funds to the DH & PHCs • State must start settlement of pending advances for civil works at the earliest.
RECOMMENDATIONS • Mechanism for feedback to the districts need to be institutionalized- Regular review meetings with State & district level officers should be conducted • Inter-sectoral co-operation models should be developed in areas of hygiene, sanitation, besides education • Skill based trainings & multi-skill trainings need to be expedited • State specific problems need to be identified and solutions provided • Home deliveries for low risk women by SBAs in difficult areas & severe weather conditions • Adequate compensation for travel to ASHAs
