Ministry of Health and Wellness

Applies the rule

The ministry that runs the public health system and sets its user fees, and the only publisher that states who pays them: non-residents, private patients and insured patients, against Jamaicans without insurance who pay nothing.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

It must not be cited for the fee schedule, which it does not publish: it says the schedule is in the National Health Services (Fees) Amendment Regulations 2016 and can be had from the Government Printing Office, a regional health authority or a public hospital. The figures it does give are examples in a press release of July 2018 and nothing later has been published, so they are the last known amounts rather than current prices.
