Coombe Hospital Public Charges

pastry2010 · 2014-08-31 20:00:54

Just wondering those of you that are public in The Coombe, is it €75 a night or not?Just checking as it's not been mentioned to me at all in hospital and it was a family member that told me to check as she thought there was a charge. Due in 2 weeks so just want to get everything sorted!:) Thanks in advance!

€75 a night is the public hospital nightly charge, if you have a medical card you are exempt. It is capped at €750 a family for the year too.
