Can MOH give some examples of what will be published?
Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Power to Publish Information
The HCSA allows the Director-General of Health (DGH) to publish information relating to —
(a) the lapsing, shortening, suspension or revocation of a licence or an exemption granted to any person;
(b) the making of a step‑in order or an expedited step‑in order against a designated licensee;
(c) the making of a direction under the Act against any person;
(d) the censure of any person;
(e) the removal of and replacement of any key appointment holder, Principal Officer or Clinical Governance Officer;
(f) the acceptance by any person of an offer to compound any offence under the Act; and
(g) the conviction of any person for any offence under the Act.
MOH could also publish information on non-compliant providers and unlicensed providers, or information relating to the average patient bill sizes of different licensees
