a health service provided to a person in respect of which it has been agreed under the National Health Agreement that the person is not to be charged, but only if the Agreement is in force at the time the service is provided; or
a health service in respect of which the Minister has made an order under section 56(2)(b), but only if the order is in force at the time the service is provided.
A health service provider must not determine or impose a fee or charge under subsection (1) that is inconsistent with —
