He was replying to a question whether Safdarjung hospital was found to be negligent in treatment of people who sustained burn injuries in a fire caused due to gas cylinder leakage in January and whether some were sent home after first-aid but later had to be admitted to other hospitals as their condition deteriorated.
The minister of state for health, in his reply, said 25 patients reported for treatment in Safdarjung, all of them were properly seen, examined and necessary treatment was provided.
"All the patients were examined thoroughly, dressing was done and due medicines were given and prescribed. The medico- legal formalities of all patients were also completed," he said.
"These patients were also supervised and advised throughout by the faculty and head of department. Patients with minor burns were then advised to attend the hospitals' OPD/casualty/emergency for regular follow-up and in case of any emergent situation.
"Not even a single patient was sent back without having given proper attention," Choubey said in his reply.
