Health Service in Ireland• ‘Mixed’ system

• Under pressure– Increasing population– Increased economic growth → increased
expectations– Access to information & technology from outside

Practitioners

– Certain chronic illnesses e.g. diabetes mellitus, epilepsy
• Private patients – pay all or some of health care costs– Usually pay for Physician visit
– Some medicines costs may be met by State
