For-profit healthcare facilities are increasingly funded by public resources, particularly through the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF), receiving over €100 million annually. These funds are intended to reduce public waiting lists, which have become a significant issue. However, the effectiveness and transparency of fund allocation have come under fire, especially at facilities like Children's Health Ireland and Beaumont Hospital, where large backlogs persist. This situation has sparked a controversial debate about the reliance on private operators in addressing public health issues.
For-profit hospitals are currently receiving over €100 million annually from the National Treatment Purchase Fund to alleviate long waiting lists, raising concerns over funding use.
Child Health Ireland and Beaumont Hospital have faced scrutiny over their funding allocation from the NTPF, as public patients continue experiencing long wait times.
