Would appreciate any views on this. My son has been an inpatient in crumlin children's hospital for the past 2 days and is likely to be there another week. He is on a public ward ( I understand that private rooms are allocated on basis of need rather than means to pay for it which is fair enough). Today I was approached by admissions staff and asked to sign forms confirming they can bill my insurer (laya connect) in the region of €860 per night for the public bed. I signed the form because I felt under pressure to do so. Are there any views on whether or not I should have used my health insurance for this?
