Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There are two different parts to that, Deputy. If I understand the question correctly, in a public hospital where a private patient is being cared for and is an insured patient and the insurance company is being charged, all of the various diagnostics, bed stay and medicines are charged to the insurance company in accordance with the guidelines. That is a very straightforward process. Where it becomes a little bit more difficult is if you have private and public hospitals alongside each other in the same entities and if they have shared services.
