Superintendencia Nacional de Salud (Colombia)

Decides what it means

Colombia's health system regulator. Issues conceptos - binding interpretations answering specific questions - which quote and apply the underlying decrees, and are often the clearest statement of how a rule works in practice.

A court, which decides what an instrument means. Its answers bind, but only on the questions actually put to it.

Cannot be cited for

A concepto answers the question that was asked and quotes the instruments it relies on rather than reproducing them whole. Reading one tells you the regulator's view; it does not substitute for the decree, and a later concepto can take a different view.
