88.
Under the Health (Amendment) Act, 1986, charges are made for treatment arising out of road traffic accidents in cases where the patient is entitled to receive compensation from a third party arising out of the accident. These charges are only payable when the compensation has been received by the patient.
The present charge for public ward treatment in Beaumont Hospital in such cases is £218 per day, which is based on the average daily cost of public ward treatment in that hospital.
