Hounding the sick: Patient groups plead with HSE to stop referring cancer patients to debt collectors




 

A number of patient groups and other organizations are this morning strongly urging the HSE to stop the practice of referring cancer patients to debt collecting agencies.

Patients undergoing treatment are being threatened with legal action over unpaid fees, which in some cases amount to just 80e.
