Reforms first, commission later

PETALING JAYA: The Parliamen­tary Special Select Committee (PSSC) on Health has recom­mended that the government defer the establishment of the proposed Health Service Commis­sion (SPK).

In its latest report tabled in Parliament on Aug 27, the Health PSSC warned that the SPK risks becoming an administrative reshuffle rather than delivering real reforms to address systemic problems in the public health sector.
