LAHORE: The PML-Q has said suffering of the Lahore blast injured have multiplied because of lack of facilities at hospitals.

`Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is responsible for the lack of even necessary facilities at public hospitals who has done nothing in the health sector,` PML-Q senior leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said on Tuesday on reports that the city hospitals were not equipped enough to treat blast injured well.

He said during the last nine-year tenure of Shahbaz in Punjab only in Lahore more than 800 civilians lost their lives in terrorism.

`Patients are suffering in public hospitals because of insufficient medicines and beds. The chief minister and ministers visit hospitals after every terrorism incident for a photo session. But no one care that the injured people are in need of medicines and facilities and not bouquets,` he said.

Mr Elahi said if Mr Sharif had not destroyed the government hospitals in Punjab during nine years, the lives of hundreds of injured persons could have been saved.
