The hiring of staff for the new health scheme has been rocked by wrangles, with at least 200 former employees of the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) currently stuck at the Public Service Commission (PSC) awaiting deployment.
The former NHIF staff were among employees seconded to Social Health Authority (SHA) following the repeal of NHIF, but were later handed over to the public service as the authority embarked on fresh recruitment.
