Diagnostics-related group implementation, MyDigital ID among focus of parliament today

KUALA LUMPUR: The status of the implementation of the diagnostics-related group (DRG) system in the private healthcare sector, efforts to increase the use of local products in investments, and the use of MyDigital ID among vulnerable groups were among the issues raised at today’s Dewan Rakyat sitting.

According to the Order Paper published on Parliament’s official website, Rodziah Ismail (Pakatan Harapan-Ampang) is scheduled to ask the Health Minister, during the oral question-and-answer session, about the latest progress of the DRG system in the private healthcare industry, as well as regulatory and monitoring measures to ensure insurance or takaful operators do not interfere in medical decisions made by specialists and doctors.

During the same session, Wong Shu Qi (Pakatan Harapan-Kluang) will pose a question to the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister on the government’s short-, medium- and long-term measures to increase the use of local products in foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic direct investment (DDI).

Meanwhile, Mohd Nazri Abu Hassan (Perikatan Nasional-Merbok) will ask the Home Minister how the ministry ensures senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), rural residents and Orang Asli are not marginalised should security and immigration services rely fully on MyDigital ID.

Following the oral question-and-answer session, the Dewan Rakyat sitting will continue with the winding-up debate on the motion of thanks for the Royal Address by the relevant ministries.

The current Dewan Rakyat sitting will run for 20 days until March 3.
