## Resource

Twelve million euros owed to Dublin’s top hospitals by private insurers—Tallaght alone had eight million—has sparked outrage as public funds sit unpaid while billions are poured into healthcare. Hospitals blame patient oversights and lack of formal insurer agreements, but new efforts by the HSE, including contractors and tighter internal systems, are starting to claw back money, with some hospitals already seeing major drops in outstanding debts.
