The HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme (TAS) issues form E112 (IE) for specific episodes of care which an approved patient receives in a public hospital in the EU, EEA or Switzerland. The health authority of these countries issue invoices, under form E125, to the HSE for care provided to those approved patients. These invoices are received in arrears - often up to 2 and 3 years in arrears. Therefore the figures detailed in the following table are the costs as current available to the HSE TAS Office and are likely to change as invoices for previous years are received and paid and should be read in that context. As prior to its centralisation into a single office in 2012 the HSE TAS was administered at various local offices, the TAS Office cannot provide comprehensive figures for the TAS prior to 2012.
