The Minority in Parliament is demanding the immediate release of funds from the Finance Ministry to the National Health Insurance Authority to pay health service providers to avoid a potential collapse of the service.
According to the NDC MPs, the scheme is currently owing service providers over ¢87 million for the past 15 months which is negatively affecting their operations and has compelled service providers to withdrawn their services.
The group alleges that some providers are in court for none payments of taxes, utility bills and other statutory obligations due to the debt.
