Unfair doctors’ fees

NOW that we are reaching a pivotal point in our history in relation to the rights of children, does it not seem apt that we might also consider how children’s medical fees charged by doctors, who operate essentially as sole traders, are the same as for adults?

Might we consider if this is ethical? Where I live the charge is €50. The majority of private organisations charge half fees for children. Doctors should be advised to do the same and to show all price lists openly in the surgery.
