Thank you Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health, the Ministry as well as the NHIF for this particular response. More so, I thank them for the timely manner in which they responded. This really demonstrates that the Government is taking seriously the statements which are being sought by the Members of this House.

On the same, allow me to give the response which I got from Chogoria Hospital to highlight on the same. The Chief Executive Officer of Chogoria Hospital sent me an e- mail saying that the NHIF sent a team from the Head Office for reconciliation of the records in April after which there had been a very good response.

On average, the Meru Office had been able to pay the hospital Kshs7 million per month which is the average claim. The relationship has improved unlike before when the relationship between the hospital and the regional office was not conducive. As of now, the hospital says that there is no problem with the area office but in case of any future problems, they will always seek the assistance of the Committee.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to request the Chair to move with speed to ensure that there is a regional office in each and every county so that we, from Tharaka Nithi County, do not have to travel all the way to Embu or Meru County to seek the services of the NHIF.
