Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2008
224 Deputy Jimmy Deenihan asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the administrators of the health repayment scheme do not state the reason a particular claim is being rejected, but rather give examples in which people might not qualify, without explaining the position in the particular case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42277/08]
View answerThe Health Service Executive (HSE) has responsibility for administering the health repayment scheme in conjunction with the appointed scheme administrator K.P.M.G. and McCann Fitzgerald. The HSE has advised my Department that the scheme administrator provides in respect of each individual rejection an explanation as to the reason why the claim is being rejected. Where applicants require further explanation they can contact the helpline operated by the scheme administrator. (1890 886 886).
