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 claimant lodged an Appeal Form with the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office on 27 August 2008. An Appeals Officer carefully and thoroughly considered and assessed the claimant's appeal. The Appeals Officer made a determination on this appeal on 22 September 2010. The decision was to amend the amount of the recoverable health charge due to the claimant as determined by the Scheme Administrator. A copy of the determination was sent to the Scheme Administrator and to the Health Service Executive for implementation.
