Shortfall of €14m in HSE dialysis services funding
Just €6 million has been allocated by the health authority for the purchase of dialysis services this year, which is far short of the €20m needed with the growth in demand, according to the Irish Kidney Association (IKA).
IKA chief executive Mark Murphy said the money would only be enough to pay for the treatment of 86 patients in a private hospital over the year.
