My wife went for an xray to a public hospital with a letter from her consultant. Because the referal letter was from a consultant and not from her GP she was charged €75. If it had been from her GP the xray would have been free. As my wife was not returning to the consultant because the service was very poor asked for the xray report to be sent to her GP instead. The hospital refused. They said they had to send it to the consultant. Seeing that I was paying for the xray I asked to be given the report and I could take it to the GP. This was refused.
Surely if I am paying for the xray, it is my property and I am entitled to be given it?
