FF Plus distances itself from Dhlomo’s statements about Competition Commission’s report
2 October 2019
The FF Plus distances itself from the statements made by the chairperson of the parliamentary portfolio committee for Health, Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo, that the Competition Commission's report on its market research into the private health care industry indicates that reform is needed and that an entirely new order must be established in South Africa's health care sector.
Dr Dhlomo made these statements on behalf of the portfolio committee after he welcomed the report, which was issued on Monday.
The FF Plus is a member of the portfolio committee and does not agree with the chairperson's statements.
The FF Plus is still busy scrutinising the Commission's report, but at this stage, it seems as if the ANC government is using the report as a stick with which to beat the private health care sector in an attempt to justify the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI).
