Hamid Razak on Health Sciences Authority (Amendment) and Other Matters Bill

07:55 Min

Consolidating expertise within the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) can produce a regulator that is more specialised, agile and capable of responding in an increasingly complex healthcare environment and ecosystem. But greater authority must be accompanied by equally clear accountability, coordination and capability, said MP Hamid Razak in parliament on Wednesday (Sep 9). He said the Ministry of Health and HSA must continue to speak with one voice, healthcare providers must know where to turn when policy and implementation appear to diverge, and HSA must have the necessary professional enforcement capability to exercise its expanding responsibilities effectively and fairly.     *Note: Sanjeev Kumar Tiwari’s speech was interrupted by a technical issue
