Play
Two major reform topics – healthcare scheme and rice industry –will be tabled for the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) for deliberation on Monday.
Kamnoon Sidhisamarn, spokesperson for the NRSA whip, said the healthcare reform committee had suggested that a “National Health Policy Committee” be appointed to oversee health benefits and medical services provided to the general public and state officers.
The aim was to ensure social equality, he said.
Regarding rice industry reform, he said the NRSA would discuss the possibility of establishing a community enterprise to help farmers with unresolved debts, increase productivity, add value to rice products, eliminate middlemen and match supply with demand.
