A Study on Strategies for Driving Regulatory Reform in the Health and Welfare Sectors
The government has taken it as a national strategy to streamline and advance regulations to reduce inconvenience in people’s lives, improve investment environment, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth. It has implemented rigorous measures of regulatory reform in every corner of society, in particular, to achieve national policy goals of social justice, low-income friendliness, job creation, and ascertaining future growth engines.
In the health and welfare sectors, the government has also, in line with the national policy goals, searched and trimmed regulations that have been impeding providing better services to the people, resulting in no little achievement.
However, in that regulatory reform should be continued to maximize national interest, it is important to review what has been achieved and what still remains problematic in terms of regulatory reform, and to set the directions for further reform based on the result, continuing the efforts that have been made so far to improve the regulatory environment in which people can thrive.
This report delineates all the regulatory reform measures that have taken place in the health and welfare sectors since 2008, and presents the directions of future regulatory reform, its strategy and tasks ahead.
