CUT-PRACTICE- RTI APPLICATION TO MMC IN FEB2012


Nature of Information required

In the last ten years, that is during the period from January 2002 to December 2011, regarding ‘cut-practice’ by which I mean the system of a doctor giving commission  to another doctor for the ‘service’ of referring patients:

1.      Against how many doctors has the MMC received complaints for doing cut-practice? I want to know the total numbers including those giving as well as those receiving cuts.

2.      How many doctors suspected of doing cut-practice were investigated by MMC?

3.      In case the allegation of cut-practice against any doctor was proved to be true, what was the punishment/ penalty imposed on such a doctor?

4.      Did the MMC receive any complaints that a hospital/ nursing home/ diagnostic centre or such other commercial establishment rendering medical services, was involved in cut-practice? If yes, how many complaints were received?

5.      How many complaints of cut-practice against commercial medical establishments were investigated by the MMC?

6.      In case any commercial medical establishment was found to be engaging in cut-practice, what was the punishment/ penalty imposed?

7.      Has there been any request to MMC to designate cut-practice as an illegal activity tantamount to corruption?

8.      Has there been any plan/ proposal of the MMC to declare cut-practice as a form of corruption?
