ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND
FAMILY WELFARE
(SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)
(a): Yes.
(b): Under RSBY, no funds are allocated to States. Funds, as central share of premium, are released on receipt of proposals from State Governments. The State-wise details of funds released and utilized during last three years are annexed.
(c): Health, being a State subject, States can take a decision to implement their own State scheme or only RSBY or both. Currently 15 states and all UTs are not implementing RSBY.
(d): At present RSBY is active in 14 states namely Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Tripura and West Bengal.
(e): The reduction of the number of empaneled hospitals from 10725 (2015-16) to 8697 (2016-17) is due to the reduction in the number of states implementing RSBY from 19 states in 2015-16 to 15 states during 2016-17.
