Don’t be misled, it’s not a hike in fees

I REFER to the recent report on the Cabinet’s decision to reject the proposal to harmonise the general practitioner’s (GP) fees with what was already approved in 2013.

Firstly, the revised fees for specialists and general practitioners were fully and meticulously discussed by all relevant parties including the Health Ministry and finalised during an intensive two-day workshop by the Fee Amendment Committee of the ministry many years ago.
