Should there be more or less privatisation of hospital and healthcare services?

Govt should stop interfering in private healthcare (drop the levy on private insurance clients) and drop the mandatory requirement that private insurance clients all take cover for maternity care, IVF, addiction treatment etc (these should be options on a policy, like all the other options).

All hospitals and Healthcare services should be government funded, though private ones can exist as long as they follow medical guidelines like other hospitals

equal amounts of privatisation of hospital and healthcare services. Semi privatised hospitals with contracts

Equal amount of private and public hospitals in a given area for an equal choice of both work and requiring medical treatment.

I believe we need to fix what is already in practice. The healthcare system is very disfunctional at the moment due to a high volume of patients and a low number of staff to go around. I have seen personally the delays in the healthcare system.

There should not be necessarily more or less privatisation, but rather the public side of the healthcare system should be fundamentally changed to make it more efficient and effective (management changes, hospital staff should have incentive to work efficiently)

health companies should build there own hospitals

Less privatization but a huge improvement in the Irish Health industry is needed to reduce waiting times, lack of services etc.

Health insurance companies should build there on hospitals

it should all be public and accesible the public health is more important than money

hospital and healthcare services should be overhauled primary care should be expanded the objective here is to reduce the need of in patients

Health system in Ireland is a disgrace and more funding should go into certain hospital equipment and encourage equals between nurses and doctors

Current system is a money pit, Hse is top heavy and inefficient . System needs to be reformed. Middle income workers paying high taxes and reliant on an unfit for purpose healthcare system with long waiting lists . Appalling mental health services. Expensive dentists etc.

universal healthcare with Socialized medicine is vital & Essential

There's enough funding for the current public health service. It's just being spent on management layers. Reduce the waste and spend the money where it's needed most.

More, make healthcare privately run but government funded.

More, make healthcare privately run but publicly funded.

More, make hospitals privately run but government funded.

private insurers should build there own hospitals

The private health insurance companies should have there own hospitals

I am happy with the current system but believe that there should be more funding for public hospitals and healthcare services.

Any privatised entity should not be subsidised by the Government. However, they should work with health providers as an option for patients who want to choose and should be affordable.

universal healthcare all the way

Privatisation of service delivery is irrelevant. Single Payer is important

The health insurance companies should build there own hospitals

There should be an increase in both.

Slainte Healthcare

There needs to be both.

Give government contracts to serve the people to the private healthcare industry

I believe that there should be a balance of both. I also believe that it should be taken into consideration that n o every one can afford a private hospital/ healthcare.

Health insurances companies should build there own hospitals

Not the issue with our system

There should be privatisation of hospital and healthcare services with government subsidies

There should be a financial incentive to keep doctors and nurses that have qualified in Ireland or to make it attractive for them to return.

I am satisfied with the structure of the current private vs public system but the public system needs more funding

Why as someone who has paid taxes myventire life am I not entitled to the same health care benefits of someone who chooses not to work. In fact why are those people entitled to free health care.....I have to pay for everything yet I'm still paying taxes!!!!!

there should be a little bit more, unless the person is dying and to poor to pay for healthcare, hospitals should be privatised

It needs structural Overhaul but I support the current model but propose strict split of public and private for both resources and assets

Privatisation exist through a failure of the current model, if it worked as planned then less privatisation.

A combination based on disease and effort from the patient and also more independent monitoring of the particular services at frequent intervals to higher standards and avoid exploitation and corruption. Particular diseases are self inflicted or controversial and funding or payments should be filtered according the discernment and effort of patient and standard of care

Lower the price range and also fund more into the public health service

I don't believe so, no. However I do believe that private healthcare patients should be treated in private hospital and not public hospitals.

Increase the amount of public healthcare and keep the private sector as is

the health insurance companies should build there own hospitals

More, with mandatory insurance & social protection.

semi private healthcare with semi private health insurance which should be made available for all throughout Ireland

Sláintecare should be implemented
