Mr. Jim Breslin:
It is paid by the taxpayer. The schedule of those prices is published. The other thing for people to be aware of is that very specialist treatment that is not available in Ireland but is available in another European country can be accessed through a European scheme. One's consultant here would refer one to another facility elsewhere in Europe and one could get treated there and that would be as part of public healthcare which means one would not be charged. They are two good schemes.
