400. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health whether the HSE's service level agreement with SouthDoc specifies approved methods for collecting patient fees; whether doctors providing services through SouthDoc are permitted to accept payments into personal accounts, including Revolut; what financial recording, auditing and accountability arrangements apply to such payments; whether SouthDoc is required to provide electronic card payment facilities at its treatment centres; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy as soon as possible.
