Health Services Act 1997

If an application for a fee review is duly made to the Health Secretary, the Health Secretary must, subject to this section, conduct a review of the decision to charge an ambulance fee.

The Health Secretary is not required to conduct a review—

if a review of the decision has already been conducted under this Part, or

if the application is received more than 7 days after the due date for payment specified in a debt notice served on the person, or

if the applicant has failed to provide any supporting information or evidence required to be provided by the payment rules, or

in such other circumstances as may be prescribed by the regulations.

The Health Secretary may also conduct a review of a decision to charge an ambulance fee of his or her own motion.

A review under this Part is a statutory internal review for the purposes of the State Debt Recovery Act 2018.
