Extra fees for psychiatrist visits dropped
Caretaker health minister Ab Klink has abandoned plans to introduce extra charges for visits to a psychiatrist after widespread protest from MPs.
Klink told MPs on Wednesday he had found alternative ways to shave €110m from the health ministry budget.
But mental healthcare workers have been urged to come up with their own suggestions to prevent the introduction of fees from 2012, news agency ANP said.
