Body of man who died while undergoing dental procedure in Turkey on May 28th has been repatriated
Irish Government might be world’s only administration trying to hide its financial position because it is too good
A HSE management source said those travelling outside of the EU for such treatment tend “not to have a GP letter or a consultant referral”. “The systems are unregulated and unregistered. They do not follow the Health Information and Quality Authority guidelines,” they said. “It is vitally important to have a GP letter explaining the patient’s medical details and to have a detailed consultant’s referral to an equivalent consultant/specialist abroad. Without those problems can happen.”The source added: “The patients and their family have no indemnity cover, that is they are not protected or compensated if anything goes wrong against a loss or other financial burden.”
Since the Cross Border Directive , a scheme to get planned healthcare in another European Union or European Economic Area member state, was introduced in 2014, just two people have died. One person died in Lithuania during bariatric surgery while the second passed away in Spain while undergoing a general surgical procedure.
Under the scheme, the patient pays for necessary treatment in another EU or EEA country upfront and then applies to the HSE for reimbursement of the treatment cost.
