+SENDING SOMEONE ON LEAVE BY ECONOMY CLASS MEANS ONLY EIGHTEEN HOURS OF LITTLE OR NO HARDSHIP ONCE A YEAR AS AGAINST THE CLOSURE OF PART OF AN IMPORTANT SERVICE, HE SAID, NOTING THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN FARE STRUCTURE COULD PRODUCE THE FINANCES NEEDED TO MAINTAIN SOME SERVICES NOW PRUNED,
MR. LOBO ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ON PROPOSED BUDGET CUTS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD. UNLESS THE DIRECTOR OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH SERVICES WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT A FEW RABBITS FROM HIS HAT, HIS VITAL DEPARTMENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT ALL ITS FUNCTIONS PROPERLY WITH THE PROPOSED FREEZE ON FUNDS AND PERSONNEL.*
HE ADDED: 1 FEAR SOME MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS MAY BECOME BEAUTIFUL SHOWPIECES WITH IMPRESSIVE EXTERIONS DUT WITH EMPTY. OR PARTLY EMPTY INTERIORS.+
MR. LOBO ALSO CALLED FOR ANOTHER LOOK AT THE PROPOSED CUTS IN THE GOVERNMENT'S RADIO AND TELEVISION SERVICES.
THE SUMS INVOLVED, HE SAID, WERE RELATIVELY SMALL BUT WERE SIGNIFICANT TO THE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED, AND HE ASKED FOR AN ASSURANCE THAT PRUNING WOULD BE ADJUSTED SO AS TO ENABLE RADIO AND TV SERVICES TO DE MAINTAINED AT CURRENT LEVELS OF OPERATION.
