Question 238: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that it is apparently the policy of accident and emergency units in Cork city to post invoices and receipts to patients and to refuse immediate payment by credit card; if she is satisfied that the cost of postage is justified in view of the fact that approximately 110,000 patients availed of these services in 2008; if alternative payment methods have been explored; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
