Operation fees and doctors' salaries: 'No direct link', says Lam Pin Min
Published on Aug 23, 2014 7:41 AM
There is "no direct link" between total operation fees and doctors' salaries at public hospitals, Minister of State for Health Lam Pin Min said yesterday.
He explained that this is why the Ministry of Health (MOH) will not be providing a breakdown of total operation fees when it starts publishing them on its website next month.
"In public hospitals, as most doctors are paid a salary by the hospitals, there is no direct link between the total operation fee and doctors' salaries," Dr Lam said.
"Therefore, the data will not be further broken down into the various components, including what would have been called 'doctors' fees' in the private sector."
