Service tax on doctors

Dear Sir / Madam,

There are many older posts on this topic on CA ClubIndia.

Now Service Tax laws and regulations have changed. But there are many clarifications are required as to taxability of services under service tax laws; though the Govt has issued a negative list.

I wish to know whether whether the doctor practising as physician cosultant is liable to service tax as of now?

Whether applicability of service tax changes with the nature of services offered by doctors? or his association with any hospital or other poly-clinic or practising independently? or based on his skill sets like normal physician or doctor performing cosmetic / plastic surgeries?

Friends, please throw some light on this.

Thanks.
