Read the passage and answer the following questions
Thousands of patients in India face the same harassment every day. With no upper limit to medical costs and no honest word on what procedures a patient actually needs and what is being recommended purely for financial gain, India’s health sector, especially privately run hospitals, are coming under serious scrutiny. This has now made the Planning Commission’s all-powerful high-level expert group on health, which suggests putting in place a patients’ charter of rights including ethical standards. According to the panel, India immediately needs a new National Health Regulatory and Development Authority (NHRDA) that will monitor and enforce essential healthcare regulations to control entry, quality, quantity and price. The recommendation is to set up the NHRDA which will be statutorily empowered to regulate and monitor/audit both the public and the private sectors and ensure enforcement and redressal.
        This regulatory and development body will be responsible for overseeing and enforcing contracts for public and private providers, accreditation of all health providers, preparing and enforcing standards for facilities, staff, scope, access, quality and rationality of services and costs of care with clear norms for payment. The NHRDA will also ensure adherence to standard protocols for treatment with involvement of professional organizations, establish a system of regular audit of prescriptions and in patient records and death audits.
