Hayden to meet funds heads on Monday
Representatives of the Hospitals Contribution Fund and the Medical Benefits Fund will meet with Minister for Social Security Mr Hayden to discuss a 40 percent increase in contributions. The Senate passed related legislation late last night, with Opposition amendments to appeals and court actions. The move retroactively affects funding from July 1, 1974, and allows aggrieved persons to seek an injunction in an Industrial Court. The Opposition avoided blocking the bill but questioned the amendments to the National Health Act. Hayden aims to settle the issue for contributors in the Monday talks.
