The Subsidiary Legislation Committee of Parliament has stated that the rise in the cost of dialysis was an error.
Dialysis sessions now cost GH¢491, up from GH¢380 previously.
This sparked many reactions, with kidney patients reducing the increase.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, had also submitted the matter to the Subsidiary Legislation Committee, which will consider stakeholder involvement on how to effectively address the situation.
But speaking on the floor of parliament the chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee, Dr Dominic Ayeni disclosed that the price increment was an error.
He also announced that the error would be rectified.
“I told them that there were a lot of errors. Time had run out on us and therefore they should bring an addendum for us to correct the errors, including this issue of dialysis. I told the MP for Joaboso, Mintah Akandoh that this was where we were with the issue.
“There are a number of them and Abena Osei said they were preparing to bring an addendum to parliament so we correct those errors,” he stated.
