Mr. Pat Healy:

At the time it was identified that people had been charged who had medical cards and were entitled to inpatient services, as they were known. When that was identified, the Government passed legislation for the repayments to be made. The HSE administered it and we have a specific statutory scheme, as set out in legislation.
