"As intimated by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the government has not initiated any proposal for creation of a Indian Medical Service and as such no specific steps have been taken in this regard," Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh said in a written reply.
However, representations from various quarters have been received on the subject, he said.
"Health being a state subject, consultation with the state governments is a prerequisite for consideration of the matter," the Minister said.
