Report: Summary of Competition Commission submissions
On 6 January 2014, South Africa’s Competition Commission began a market inquiry, or investigation, into the private health sector following concerns about the high price of health care in the sector.
The market inquiry will examine why the private sector may not be working effectively. The commission will ultimately make recommendations to improve the private sector to protect consumer interests while markets remain fair and competitive.
On 1 August, the commission issued its “call for submissions,” kicking off its investigative phase.
Section27 has summarised various inputs on the commission’s draft statement of issues as well as guidelines for participation.

Good morning.
Just to inform Section 27 that not all submissions have been published. Our IPAF submission is still not published, even after enquiring about it and being reassured by mrs Paramoer that it was indeed received and will be published A.S.A.P. (makes one wonder……)
