The AAP government on Thursday assured the Delhi High Court that no patient would be denied treatment at the government-run GTB Hospital, where it has started a pilot project under which residents of the national capital are to be given preference over others.
The Delhi government informed a bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao that emergency, out patient and testing facilities were not being denied to anyone as was being claimed in a PIL filed in the court.
The submission was made by the government's senior standing counsel Rahul Mehra who pleaded before the court not to pass interim directions, and take up the matter on October 8.
The bench, however, asked "why not keep it (project) in abeyance till Monday (October 8)?"
