The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office is an independent office established to provide an appeals service to those who wish to appeal the decision of the scheme administrator under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006. The claimant lodged an appeal with the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office on 25 August 2009. The appeals officer continues to investigate the appeal. As part of these investigations the appeals officer has been liaising with the HSE. The appeals officer wrote to the claimant on 11 March 2011 to update her on his on-going investigations. When the appeals officer has made a determination on the appeal he will write to the claimant and will provide the claimant with the reasons for the decision.
