How much is palliative care?
Most palliative care services are free for all patients and their families in Ireland. Where people have private medical insurance, their insurer may be asked to contribute towards the cost of their care. Depending on the stage of your illness, you may be entitled to a medical card, which is applied for with the support of your consultant, GP or social worker, who facilitate the application process to the HSE.
Be sure to check in with your GP and local primary care team about what other free services may be available in your local area.
