The HSE assigns an income budget, including a private patient income budget, to each hospital as part of the annual budgetary process. The 2016 private patient income budget allocated to the acute hospital system was €649 million.

As regards the overall 2017 private patient income budget and the income budgets allocated to individuals hospitals for 2017 and each of the past three years, I have referred this matter to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
