The Minister of Health 
and Family Welfare clarified in the Parliament pertaining to the issue 
of opening time of CGHS dispensaries…
The opening time of CGHS
 dispensaries in Delhi & NCR has been changed to 9.00 AM except in 
case of six dispensaries which are working for 24 hours a day. Working 
hours of CGHS dispensaries have been revised with a view to ensure 
optimum utilization of scarce manpower resources of CGHS to improve the 
functioning of CGHS and also the satisfaction level of CGHS 
beneficiaries. Doctors can now devote more time towards patient care 
with extended working hours of 9.00 AM to 4.00 PM. It will also help 
Administration in implementing rotational transfer policy in CGHS.
The working hours of 
CGHS dispensaries have been revised keeping in view the larger interest 
of CGHS beneficiaries including serving employees and pensioners. With 
the computerization of all CGHS dispensaries and universal application 
and portability of CGHS cards, one can easily avail the CGHS facilities 
from any CGHS dispensary/First Aid Post near to his residence or place 
of work as per his/her convenience and there is no compulsion to go to 
his parent dispensary for medical consultation and medicines. The 
revised working hours will provide longer effective working hours for 
availing the facilities. They can access CGHS dispensary even during the
 lunch hours.
