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.

Rather than there being more or less, people should be able to choose private or public. Private should not be overly hammered by regulation and public should not be undermined by inadequate funding.
@9VL3ZY23mos3MO
enough privatisation to let industry investigate, risk and develop, but enough healthcare infrastructure to attend everybody with no added cost
@B24NJLZ1wk1W
More investment into healthcare required with the government however same amount of private practices
@B23GP4M2wks2W
Less, but greatly increase services available in primary care centres and provide minor injury clinics to take non urgent ED patients
@B22DPSD2wks2W
Yes but there needs to be more hospitals and more beds and more private health insurers to ensure stable competition and prices. There should be a degree of public funding to support this.

More available and better private care, you should be getting a lot for what you pay for. Shorter waiting times needed and premium care for paying. The public health system needs a serious facelift. The organisation and employment levels needs to be fixed from the root. Whether the means making entry points to nursing and medicine lower so we can have more opportunities for other people. Take out the HPAT for people who want to study as a mature student who already hold a background in a bachelor’s degree science and make way for more minds. I hate seeeing everyone moving away to Australia and Canada for better opportunities, heck some people are moving alone to study these subjects in other countries because it’s easier entry.

The money allocated to the health system needs to be allocated to the correct areas, it seems that a lot of money is wasted and patients are not getting the care they could get compare with other countries where people’s tax money is put to good use and the public can see the direct benefit of their tax money being spent on public services.

Fifty year plan to overhaul system. No edge case messing about with general system. Too much waste in current system.
