'Such costs should be borne by the party that needs the
report, and not the consumer.'
MR TAN KIN LIAN: 'Some consumers have to pay
$90 or more to get a medical report that is usually required by
another party, for example, the insurance company, employer or for
national service deferment. I suggest the Government make it clear
that such costs should be borne by the party that needs the report,
and not the consumer. These big organisations are in a better
position to negotiate the fee for the report, or change their
requirements to reduce its cost.'
