Committee urges government to study antibiotics for young children
The Standing Committee on Health and Care Services is considering a private member's bill from Trine Fagervik and Kjersti Toppe on free medicines on standard prescription for children up to six years old. The committee majority calls on the government to study the costs of ensuring optimal antibiotic treatment for young children, and to investigate whether out-of-pocket charges for antibiotics can be included in parents' annual deductible caps.
