View answerThe HSE funds and operates the public healthcare system in Ireland. Private Hospitals and healthcare providers are independent organisations. In general, patients use their private health insurance when accessing healthcare in the private sector, while some patients who do not have private health insurance may opt to pay privately for the treatment.
Treatment accessed in the independent private healthcare system is not eligible for reimbursement by the HSE or the Department of Health.
