The bill to strengthen screening at the office manager's hospital was also listed

A bill that mandates government reporting of drug sales and promotional agencies (CSOs) and a bill that regulates illegal hospital subsidies between hospitals, pharmacies, and agents in exchange for prescriptions will be reviewed by the National Assembly's subcommittee on the 24th.The government has also published a bill to designate late night operated pharmacies and support budgets, a survey of pharmacies illegally opened through license, and a bill to announce information on illegal pharmacies to the public.

 

In order to strengthen regulations on illegal office managers' hospitals, a bill will also be reviewed to give the NHIS the authority to review the establishment of medical institutions and strengthen the authority to request data submission by the medical institution's opening review committee.

 

On the 18th, Kim Min-seok, chairman of the National Assembly's welfare committee, and the ruling and opposition parties' secretaries agreed on the agenda of the 1st and 2nd Legislation Subcommittees containing such information.

 

The first subcommittee on the bill, where major bills in the health and pharmaceutical sectors will be reviewed, will be held at 9 a.m.

 

on the 24th.

 

The first agenda to be reviewed is the CSO government reporting system bill proposed by Rep.

 

Kim Sung-joo of the Democratic Party of Korea.

 

The bill enforces government reporting by individual drug promoters or corporate CSOs and regulates that drug promotions cannot be entrusted if they are not reported.

 

The goal of the bill is for CSO to improve the reality of illegal rebates.

 

A revision to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, which further clarified CSO's regulations on banning rebates on illegal drugs and medical devices, was also listed on the second screening list.

 

The bill is expected to be reviewed by Rep.

 

Kang Byeongwon of the Democratic Party and Rep.

 

Seo Jung-sook of the People's Power, respectively.

 

A bill to support the designation and budget of public night operated pharmacies and local governments, proposed by Rep.

 

Kim Do-eup, the People's Power, will also be reviewed.

 

The key is to allow the Mayor/Do Governor or the Mayor/Gun/Gu Head to designate pharmacies operated during late-night hours and holidays, and to support expenses necessary for operation within budget.

 

This is the same as the bill recently proposed by Democratic Party lawmaker Seo Young-seok, and the bill will be able to be pushed forward at the same time as the welfare committee has decided on a budget of KRW 4,041 billion for next year's pilot project.

 

Rep.

 

Seo Young-seok's proposal is unlikely to be reviewed with that of Kim Do-eup due to the late timing of the proposal, but the contents are similar, so there is a possibility that it will be implemented next year if the review opportunity is obtained.

 

A survey of illegal pharmacies and herbal pharmacies represented by Rep.

 

In Jae-geun of the Democratic Party of Korea and a bill to announce the results were also on the list.

 

The purpose is to solve the problem of unfairly defrauding health insurance finances by opening a pharmacy where unlicensed people, not pharmacists, rent licenses.

 

The main goal is to regularize surveys of illegal opening, operating pharmacies, and herbal pharmacies and disclose the results of illegal confirmation to the public.

 

With the aim of tightening regulations on the hospital of the secretary, the NHIS staff will be included in the medical institution's opening committee, and the bill will also be reviewed to allow the NHIS to request necessary data or opinions.

 

The two bills were submitted by Rep.

 

Kang Byeongwon.

 

A bill will also be reviewed to announce the results of an investigation into illegal pharmacies (herbal pharmacies) proposed by Rep.

 

In Jae-geun of the Democratic Party.

 

The purpose is to solve the problem of unlicensed people, not pharmacists, opening licensed rental pharmacies to unfairly defraud health insurance finances.

 

The main goal is to regularize surveys of illegal opening, operating pharmacies, and herbal pharmacies and disclose the results of illegal confirmation.

 

The government is expected to strengthen its obligation to ventilate medical institutions to prepare for quarantine such as COVID-19, and revise the Medical Service Act to raise the level of regulations on illegal medical advertisements.
