Waiting list reimbursement scheme

The DoH has recently agreed to reimburse patients who are on Trust waiting lists to have their surgery undertaken in either RoI or in other parts of Europe.
Patients are asked to provide evidence they are on a waiting list to support their application for the cross border waiting list initiative. It is not the responsibility of the GPs to provide this letter.
Applicants are asked to provide evidence in the form of a letter from a HSC Trust in NI confirming their place on the specialty waiting list and date entered on waiting list.
The patients are also asked to provide a H&C No to confirm registration with a GP in NI and a National Insurance No. Below is the link to the patient application form.
