【明報專訊】IN a review of the Accident and Emergency (A&E) services, the Hospital Authority has suggested that the government raise the charge more than twofold from $100 to $220. The suggestion was made after consideration of subsidy levels in 2003. The emergency room charge has remained unadjusted for 14 years. A charge increase will be inevitable if we are to maintain the quality and sustainability of A&E services.
