The HSE's National Ambulance Service has no patient charges for any NAS resource. Based on clarifications received from the Deputy, I am aware he is referring to the standard Emergency Department charge of €100, under the Health (Out-Patient Charges) Regulations 2013, which applies to out-patient services provided at any of: an emergency department; an accident and emergency department; a casualty department; a minor injury unit; an urgent care centre; a local injury unit or any other facility providing similar services. This charge is subject to a number of exemptions under Article 3 including medical card holders and those who have a letter of referral from a registered medical practitioner.
