Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health regarding the cross-border healthcare directive, if the Health Service Executive will pay a health care provider in another member state directly, as opposed to the patient paying the costs up-front, and claiming reimbursement following treatment, as this excludes many persons, and only persons of means are in a position to avail of cross-border treatment, and this goes against the spirit of the directive; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
