&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &amp;ldquo;effective and transparent&amp;rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &amp;ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&amp;rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&amp;rsquo;s earlier &amp;ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&amp;rdquo; formula. This &amp;ldquo;rough-and-ready&amp;rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh. A new mechanism devised more scientifically should take care of present requirement for oxygen as well as be flexible enough to accommodate &amp;ldquo;unforeseen demands due to emergencies which may arise within the allocated territories&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&amp;hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&amp;rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The court said setting up an expert body or task force &amp;ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&amp;rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge. The court said the decision-makers should go beyond cobbling together ad-hoc solutions based on present problems. They have to prepare for the future. The task force&amp;rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&amp;rdquo; the court explained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V. Peter, Director, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairperson and Managing Director, Medanta Hospital and Heart Institute, Gurugram; Dr. Rahul Pandit, Director, Critical Care Medicine and ICU, Fortis Hospital, Mulund (Mumbai, Maharashtra) and Kalyan (Maharashtra); Dr. Saumitra Rawat, Chairman &amp;amp; Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplant, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin, Senior Professor and Head of Department of Hepatology, Director, Institute of Liver and Biliary Science (ILBS), Delhi; Dr. Zarir F. Udwadia, Consultant Chest Physician, Hinduja Hospital, Breach Candy Hospital and Parsee General Hospital, Mumbai; Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (ex officio member); and the Convenor of the National Task Force, who shall also be a member, will be the Cabinet Secretary to the Union Government. The Cabinet Secretary may nominate an officer not below the rank of Additional Secretary to depute for him, when necessary. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &amp;ldquo;effective and transparent&amp;rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &amp;ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&amp;rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&amp;rsquo;s earlier &amp;ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&amp;rdquo; formula. This &amp;ldquo;rough-and-ready&amp;rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh. A new mechanism devised more scientifically should take care of present requirement for oxygen as well as be flexible enough to accommodate &amp;ldquo;unforeseen demands due to emergencies which may arise within the allocated territories&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&amp;hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&amp;rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The court said setting up an expert body or task force &amp;ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&amp;rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge. The court said the decision-makers should go beyond cobbling together ad-hoc solutions based on present problems. They have to prepare for the future. The task force&amp;rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&amp;rdquo; the court explained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V. Peter, Director, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairperson and Managing Director, Medanta Hospital and Heart Institute, Gurugram; Dr. Rahul Pandit, Director, Critical Care Medicine and ICU, Fortis Hospital, Mulund (Mumbai, Maharashtra) and Kalyan (Maharashtra); Dr. Saumitra Rawat, Chairman &amp;amp; Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplant, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin, Senior Professor and Head of Department of Hepatology, Director, Institute of Liver and Biliary Science (ILBS), Delhi; Dr. Zarir F. Udwadia, Consultant Chest Physician, Hinduja Hospital, Breach Candy Hospital and Parsee General Hospital, Mumbai; Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (ex officio member); and the Convenor of the National Task Force, who shall also be a member, will be the Cabinet Secretary to the Union Government. The Cabinet Secretary may nominate an officer not below the rank of Additional Secretary to depute for him, when necessary. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &amp;ldquo;effective and transparent&amp;rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &amp;ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&amp;rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&amp;rsquo;s earlier &amp;ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&amp;rdquo; formula. This &amp;ldquo;rough-and-ready&amp;rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh. A new mechanism devised more scientifically should take care of present requirement for oxygen as well as be flexible enough to accommodate &amp;ldquo;unforeseen demands due to emergencies which may arise within the allocated territories&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&amp;hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&amp;rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The court said setting up an expert body or task force &amp;ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&amp;rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge. The court said the decision-makers should go beyond cobbling together ad-hoc solutions based on present problems. They have to prepare for the future. The task force&amp;rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&amp;rdquo; the court explained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &amp;ldquo;effective and transparent&amp;rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &amp;ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&amp;rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&amp;rsquo;s earlier &amp;ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&amp;rdquo; formula. This &amp;ldquo;rough-and-ready&amp;rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh. A new mechanism devised more scientifically should take care of present requirement for oxygen as well as be flexible enough to accommodate &amp;ldquo;unforeseen demands due to emergencies which may arise within the allocated territories&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&amp;hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&amp;rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The court said setting up an expert body or task force &amp;ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&amp;rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge. The court said the decision-makers should go beyond cobbling together ad-hoc solutions based on present problems. They have to prepare for the future. The task force&amp;rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&amp;rdquo; the court explained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V. Peter, Director, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairperson and Managing Director, Medanta Hospital and Heart Institute, Gurugram; Dr. Rahul Pandit, Director, Critical Care Medicine and ICU, Fortis Hospital, Mulund (Mumbai, Maharashtra) and Kalyan (Maharashtra); Dr. Saumitra Rawat, Chairman &amp;amp; Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplant, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin, Senior Professor and Head of Department of Hepatology, Director, Institute of Liver and Biliary Science (ILBS), Delhi; Dr. Zarir F. Udwadia, Consultant Chest Physician, Hinduja Hospital, Breach Candy Hospital and Parsee General Hospital, Mumbai; Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (ex officio member); and the Convenor of the National Task Force, who shall also be a member, will be the Cabinet Secretary to the Union Government.

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &ldquo;effective and transparent&rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&rsquo;s earlier &ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&rdquo; formula. This &ldquo;rough-and-ready&rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh.

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The court said setting up an expert body or task force &ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge.

The task force&rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&rdquo; the court explained.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V.

<p style="text-align:justify">The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the &ldquo;effective and transparent&rdquo; allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a &ldquo;scientific, rational and equitable basis&rdquo; to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The apex court had expressed its dissatisfaction at the Centre&rsquo;s earlier &ldquo;oxygen-for-bed&rdquo; formula. This &ldquo;rough-and-ready&rdquo; arrangement, as the court put it, was based on calculating the allotment of oxygen based on the number of ICU/non-ICU beds. The court, however, said the formula did not take into consideration the fact that many COVID-19 patients in dire need of oxygen do not get beds or were confined to home care.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, in a 24-page order released on Saturday, said the formula should be scrapped and the problem of allocation of oxygen required to be looked into afresh. A new mechanism devised more scientifically should take care of present requirement for oxygen as well as be flexible enough to accommodate &ldquo;unforeseen demands due to emergencies which may arise within the allocated territories&rdquo;.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;Different States may peak during different time&hellip; their needs for oxygen may vary,&rdquo; Justice Chandrachud had pointed out.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The court said setting up an expert body or task force &ldquo;drawn of renowned national experts with diverse experience in health institutions&rdquo; to function within the Central government apparatus would facilitate a public health response to the pandemic based on scientific and specialised domain knowledge. The court said the decision-makers should go beyond cobbling together ad-hoc solutions based on present problems. They have to prepare for the future. The task force&rsquo;s work would provide the Centre with inputs and strategies.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;We expect that the leading experts in the country shall associate with the work of the Task Force both as members and resource persons. This will facilitate a meeting of minds and the formulation of scientific strategies to deal with an unprecedented human crisis,&rdquo; the court explained.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The members of the Task Force are Dr Bhabatosh Biswas, Former Vice-Chancellor, West Bengal University of Health Sciences, Kolkata; Dr. Devender Singh Rana, Chairperson, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairperson and Executive Director, Narayana Healthcare, Bengaluru; Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr J.V. Peter, Director, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairperson and Managing Director, Medanta Hospital and Heart Institute, Gurugram; Dr. Rahul Pandit, Director, Critical Care Medicine and ICU, Fortis Hospital, Mulund (Mumbai, Maharashtra) and Kalyan (Maharashtra); Dr. Saumitra Rawat, Chairman &amp; Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplant, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi; Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin, Senior Professor and Head of Department of Hepatology, Director, Institute of Liver and Biliary Science (ILBS), Delhi; Dr. Zarir F. Udwadia, Consultant Chest Physician, Hinduja Hospital, Breach Candy Hospital and Parsee General Hospital, Mumbai; Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (ex officio member); and the Convenor of the National Task Force, who shall also be a member, will be the Cabinet Secretary to the Union Government. The Cabinet Secretary may nominate an officer not below the rank of Additional Secretary to depute for him, when necessary. &nbsp;</p>

Supreme Court forms National Task Force for transparent oxygen allocation -Krishnadas Rajagopal

-The Hindu 12-member team to go beyond present crisis, prepare road map for transparent budgeting with States The Supreme Court has constituted a 12-member National Task Force to streamline and ensure the “effective and transparent” allocation of liquid medical oxygen on a “scientific, rational and equitable basis” to States and Union Territories fighting COVID-19.
