Question:

777. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if the HSE uses debt collection agencies and or appointed persons to collect outstanding fees or bills of persons (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25101/18]

Written answers

Minister for Health

Issues around income collection and the use of debt collection agencies are operational matters for which the HSE are responsible. Therefore I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
