    Abstract

    The role of user charges for public health services has been hotly debated internationally in the last decade, in both developing and developed countries. In Ireland, out-patient services and in-patient care in public wards of public hospitals were provided free of charge to most of the population up to 1987. In that year, without little or no prior discussion or debate, charges for out-patient services and a per-night charge for in-patients in public hospitals were introduced, applying to all those who did not qualify for a medical card on the basis of a means test.
