SEREMBAN: The plight of contract doctors in government service who are demanding to be made permanent will be raised in Cabinet within a fortnight, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

"I will present a memorandum on the short- and long-term solutions to the Cabinet within a week or two.

Khairy expressed hope that the doctors will defer plans to hold a protest until the Cabinet decides on the matter. The movement's spokesman, Dr Muhammad Yassin, said contract doctors are planning to stage a protest march. He said the protest would last about 30 minutes to an hour. This would be followed by a mass resignation in the same month."Once we get the green light from the Cabinet, I will announce the numbers we can take.
