Reduction in the scope of platform regulation & re-examinati

Another number of non-face-to-face legislative issues

Criticism of some lawmakers, "Welfare Ministry, demanding only swift legislation without countermeasures for side effects"

Following the decision to postpone the non-face-to-face treatment institutionalization bill again by the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee on the 24th, it is evaluated that the number of issues to be resolved for legislation has increased.

 

At the same time, the need to reduce the scope of non-face-to-face treatment patients compared to the current pilot project was raised, and criticism followed that there was no mechanism to regulate illegal and expedient actions by mediation platform companies.

 

Furthermore, as a result of the pilot project that has been in effect since last June, it is still difficult to punish without distinguishing first-time and returning patients in non-face-to-face treatment, and it is a shame for violations of the law that exceeds 30% of non-face-to-face treatment and dispensing rates allowed by medical institutions and pharmacies.

 

Members of the National Assembly’s subcommittee point out that there is not even a countermeasure against losing.

 

On this day, the non-face-to-face treatment legislative review was in the direction of a collision between the Ministry of Health and Welfare's request to regulate expedients on some platforms through prompt institutionalization and the National Assembly's criticism of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's countermeasures against many side effects that may occur in the enactment of non-face-to-face treatment legislation.

 

It is said that it has been done.

 

Opposition members of the welfare committee who participated in the review are of the opinion that the Ministry of Health and Welfare has not come up with a proper legislative bill to address problems that threaten public health and cause confusion in the health and medical ecosystem.

 

Although the Ministry of Health and Welfare submitted a government bill to the National Assembly that went through the process of amending and improving the provisions with the Welfare Committee expert committee, criticism continued that it failed to come up with legal provisions to solve even the problems that occurred during the pilot project.

 

The basics of the welfare committee members are that there are no measures on how to classify first-time and returning patients when institutionalizing, what punishments to be imposed in case of violation, and how to regulate the problem of implementing non-face-to-face treatment exceeding the allowable rate (up to 30% for pilot projects).
