Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles
Devial@discuss.online 1 day agoSo if I break my arm, and am in incredible pain, I need to first pop by my GP to get a referral, or pay 100€ if I go straight to A&E ?

Ah if you break your arm you just head straight in. I’m not sure if a medical card (essentially free medical treatment for low income folks) works for that but I’d imagine it does.
We had a lot of folks just arriving into A&E before because it was cheaper than going to their GP.

ah so you were already paying to visit a GP? How much is that then?
