爱尔兰卫生服务执行部门已降低前往北爱尔兰进行白内障外科手术者的报销标准,自9月1日起生效。 The Health Service Executive in Ireland has reduced reimbursement rates for those travelling to Northern Ireland for cataract surgery, effective from September 1st. 支付额的减少可能迫使病人重新回到南方的排队等候名单,并停止运送病人到贝尔法斯特接受手术的公共汽车服务。 The decrease in payment may force patients back into long waiting lists in the South and stop the operation of bus services that transport patients to Belfast for surgery. 批评者认为,这种减少可能导致一些病人取消未来的旅行和手术。 Critics argue that the reduction may lead some patients to cancel future trips and operations.
