The Health Repayment Scheme was launched in August 2006 and as of 23rd November 2007 over 32,000 claim forms have been received. 4,912 payments totalling over €97m have issued and 7,636 offers totalling over €148m have been made.

The scheme is administered by the Health Service Executive in conjunction with the appointed scheme administrator KPMG/McCann Fitzgerald. Therefore the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the specific issue raised by the Deputy.

My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
