Lawmakers Call for Real-Name Registration for Hidden Cameras; Premier Cho: 'Will Study Feasible System'

CNA reporter Chen Chun-hua, Taipei, May 22. Following a scandal involving hidden cameras in several medical aesthetic clinics, lawmakers have demanded a real-name registration system for disguised cameras. Premier Cho Jung-tai said today that the feasibility of such a system needs further study, and the government must first define which devices require registration to establish a viable system. During a legislative session, KMT lawmaker Lee Yen-hsiu raised concerns about systematic filming in chain clinics. Deputy Minister of Health and Welfare Lin Ching-yi responded that pre-selling medical services is a violation of the Medical Care Act and will be penalized. Premier Cho noted that the government is reviewing the issue and has ordered all ministries to report their findings within two weeks. He also addressed concerns regarding workplace bullying, stating that investigations are ongoing.
