That is something that I would like to know as well. So far, all my searches have turned up blank. Reading the report of the working group (which provides few references to sources), I get the impression (and I may be wrong) that it has been prepared with little input from consumer bodies or social organizations involved in healthcare delivery. The report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee which may also indicate whether such representations have been received is not available so far. If and when I happen to find something, I will post an update.Dilip Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294894305584371011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15602189.post-75506745731811098062007-12-23T17:06:00.000+05:302007-12-23T17:06:00.000+05:30Dear Dilip,Thanks for drawing attention to this, a...Dear Dilip,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for drawing attention to this, and for explaining the implications so comprehensively. Hopefully, your post will encourage us to pay more attention to this and other legislative reforms/changes being contemplated. <BR/><BR/>Given the difficult policy questions involved, perhaps it is a good thing that this law will first apply in relatively smaller areas - the UTs and some states. Was this a deliberate choice? You seem to think this is a good idea. <BR/><BR/>I also wonder what other stakeholders feel about the basic issues regarding state regulation. We know the position of the medical establishment and the government. I wonder if consumer bodies have made any relevant representations? <BR/><BR/>Hope you can follow this issue, and keep us posted. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>ArunArun Thiruvengadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902119597448574508noreply@blogger.com
