The release says all NHI referrals for the period of July 14 to the 31st will not be processed unless the client is prepared to pay for these services in full." End quote.
The release explains that that NHI's budget has been reduced and NHI clinics are now giving priority to the most vulnerable populations including the elderly and maternal child healthcare.
