The parliamentary health committee was discussing an amending bill which aims to revise the existing SHSO price list, which was drawn up with the data of 2013 and is in force until today.
It is also noteworthy that in the Accident and Emergency Departments there is no charge for non-beneficiaries of the GHS.
