€1,000 A NIGHT TROLLEY FEE

-

A new hospital charge has collected €200m without a peep of protest. The Department of Health has confirmed it has pocketed the sum from charging up to €1,000 per night to private patients’ health insurance even if they languish on trolleys.

Before 2013, they charged the same for insured patients as public patients at €80 per night.
