€75 levy that HSE charges

There are certain exemptions and one that's listed on the HSE website is "services provided in accordance with EU Regulations". Surely this argument could be applied so that all €75 charges are exempt?...I mean, isn't all treatment and services received in accordance with EU regulations?

Can you link specifically to where on the HSE website this is mentioned? Can't be certain without the context but it sounds like the exemption to the GMS 2.50 levy for EU citizens traveling here.

It's under "daily in patient charges in public hospitals"

Thanks for the link. I think it refers to visitors from EU countries with an EHIC (formerly E111 card) who can access health services here: http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/schemes/EHIC/visitors/Visitors_to_Ireland.html. Unless you're a tourist, this probably doesn't apply.
