- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 95
- Court
- District Court
Clause 11 of the Specialists' Costs Regulations requires prior approval for the Corporation to pay for procedures in Part II of the Schedule; that requirement is absolute and applies even to emergency procedures — accordingly the Corporation is not liable to contribute to private hospital surgical costs where no prior approval was obtained, and the appeal is dismissed.
