The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office is an independent office established to provide an appeals service to those who wish to appeal the decision of the Scheme Administrator under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006.

The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office has advised my Department that the claimant referred to by the Deputy lodged an appeal form with the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office on 21 April 2008 and lodged an oral hearing form on 30 April 2008. An oral hearing will be arranged for the claimant in Cork.

When the Appeals Officer has made a determination on this appeal he/she will write to the claimant and will provide the claimant with the reasons for the decision.
