Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health if he will provide clarification regarding hospitals charging the VHI for hospital bed use despite the fact that a significant number of patients never actually obtain the use of a bed but are subjected to the use of a hospital trolley alone for the duration of their treatment and stay at the hospital; if any methodology for billing purposes exists which takes note of the number of patients who have had to receive treatment on trolleys without admission to a ward; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
