581. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the ongoing problems for patients availing of the cross-Border healthcare directive or the Northern Ireland planned healthcare scheme, in that the codes for the procedures do not match up between the private health care providers in the Northern Ireland and the HSE, with the consequence of those patients then being left with very significant additional costs; and if he will ensure that the private health care providers in the North of Ireland and the HSE urgently align their coding systems to prevent further reoccurrences.
