Voluntary Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
Yes. The control is as follows. If it wants to get involved in new activities, the Minister for Health and Children will give consent with the consent of the Minister for Finance. That will be done by the Financial Regulator after authorisation. Today the Minister can refuse to sanction increased prices for example. Those powers will go.
