Kolkata, March 13 Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has sought a report from the state health minister on the prevailing conditions at Calcutta Pavlov Hospital.

Responding to theissue raised through an adjournment motion moved by Trinamool Congress MLA Sonali Guha and others, he said the situation at the hospital was frightening and asked the state health minister to look into it.

Guha said in the women's ward, a number of patients didn't have clothes. They didn't even have a towel to dry themselves after a bath.

Though patients are supposed to get articles of daily use at the government's expense, these could not be found. Even goods sent by their families disappeared.

There aren't enough essential medicines or sedatives either.

Male barbers visited the wards for female patients. For 280 patients, there are only six doctors.
