Accusing that the Planning Commission ignored suggestions of the Working Group while preparing the draft chapter on health, the Union health ministry has sent out its reservations and have suggested major changes in the health chapter to the Commission.

In a recent communication to the Planning Commission, the health ministry has said that certain changes have been made including updating the figures, correcting factual inaccuracies to give positive “overtone” rather than negative connotion. “Changes have been made in the track change mode in the report,” said the comments made by the health ministry on the proposed chapter on health in the 12th plan document.
