Healthcare in Ireland is financed by the state. Citizens have the option of buying additional private health insurance. There are public as well as private hospitals. Private patients are often treated in public hospitals, as by definition all privately insured patients have an entitlement to use the publicly funded system.

@9PSYPDP1mo1MO
More privatisation, subsidised by government funding making it more efficient and more accessible to citizens
@9ND5MK22mos2MO
More privatisation and divisions to allow experts with medical qualifications to manage and provide exceptional healthcare services, with the government providing grants and subsidies towards patient treatment. The government and HSE are not fit for purpose when it comes to healthcare.
@9MJKVT52mos2MO
Govt funding needs to be directed in a better way. cost for accessing the hospital by employees is a problem due to current transport system which needs to be acknowledged.
