To the Honorable Secretary of the Administrative Committee
Based on your order, I have ⟦contacted⟧ Doctor ⟦...⟧
regarding the reduction of examination and treatment fees, and he explained to me that he can
make a reduction regarding the examination fees only, specifically from
one dinar to half a dinar. As for the daily treatment fees,
he cannot reduce them below two dinars per week.
This is with the knowledge that he is the one who decides who requires
weekly treatment or just an examination, and he submits a list of that
to the treatment administration. Accordingly, he has returned the previous list
and reduced it from 44/500 dinars to 41/250 dinars as seen
above, and added to it two new lists according to the form
organized and decided by him. The total of the three lists amounts to
81/750 dinars for the period from 4/20 to 5/4.
Submitted for your order,
