Under the Health (Amendment) Act 2013, patients who opt for private treatment in a public hospital are charged according to the service provided, whether that be treatment on a day basis or overnight and whether the stay is in a single or multiple occupancy room.

In relation to the particular queries raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
