PRIVATE HEALTHCARE

Individuals choosing to procure healthcare privately are effectively stepping outside of the Health and Social Care HSC system. In these circumstances there is no obligation on GP's to provide pre and/or post treatment support. Therefore it is important for individuals wishing to avail of private healthcare to ensure that all pre and post treatment costs are inculded in the overall package of care from the private healthcare provider. In instances where any ongoing treatment and medication is recommended but is not provided by the private provider as part of the private service, individuals should be prepared to meet any associated costs. 

Post Treatment includes:

• Surture Removal
• Staple Removal 
• Wound Assessment 
• Wound Dressing
• Medication Requests
