Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements. - Regulatory Reform: Motion.

 

Deputy Glennon could be asked about the increases Medisec have had to bring forward. He initiated a very economic scheme but after a certain number of years the fees are now about twice what they used to be. That is a big problem. On questioning patients, the authors of the report did not find that price was a major factor in whom one chose as a doctor. Geographical proximity, reputation, quality of service and customer trust, as it was described – I would prefer to have seen it being described as patient trust, but what harm – were more important factors.
