We have some old and very-very old Acts that really needs to be updated, says Ministry of Health permanent secretary Dr Jemesa Tudravu.

While presenting the public submission on Ministry of Health and Medical Services 2015-2021 Annual Report on Tuesday (June 25) he said they had requested for the funding support in the budget to review the outdated Acts.

“We have started the discussion with respective Government agencies that are also affected by these policies and regulations,” Dr Tudravu said.

“This year, we have put a submission requesting for some funding to support the review of Acts.

“We are hoping that we’ll get some money and that’ll help us to do some of these reviews.

“We’ve got some old and very-very old Acts, so they really need to be updated.

“That’s something that we are targeting in the new financial year.”
