The Health Service Executive (HSE) has responsibility for administering the health repayment scheme in conjunction with the appointed scheme administrator KPMG/McCann Fitzgerald. The HSE have informed my Department that the Scheme Administrator is a statutory function set up under the Health (Repayment) Scheme Act 2006 and letters are written from the Scheme Administrator and not from any individual. My Department has asked the HSE to discuss this issue with the Scheme Administrator to establish if more specific contact details can be supplied.
