The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) has an agreement in place with the Sports Surgery Clinic in Santry, Dublin for the provision of orthopaedic procedures. I understand that the agreement does not guarantee a particular level of referral. A small number of patients have received surgery through the NTPF at the Clinic to date.
