In relation to repayments in respect of a deceased relevant person, following consultation with officials of the probate office of the High Court regulations were made under Section 20 of the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006 to provide for the establishment of a public register to record the amount of repayment made in respect of a deceased relevant person. The register is maintained by the Health Service Executive and provides accountability in the administration of estates. Information on these repayments is available to the public on request.

There is no intention to publish a list of repayments to living relevant persons who have received a repayment under the scheme.
