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.

Basically it should be less privatised but somehow retain staff and talent. Possibly chop half of admin jobs and senior administrators that have overlooked failures. Incentivise doctors to remain in tenure and not go into consulting
@9L2W2JQ2mos2MO
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).
@9L2VDWV2mos2MO
All hospitals and Healthcare services should be government funded, though private ones can exist as long as they follow medical guidelines like other hospitals
@9KPXQGH2mos2MO
equal amounts of privatisation of hospital and healthcare services. Semi privatised hospitals with contracts
