    Hi.

    Would anyone have any idea how to get a patient transferred from Beamount to Mater Private.
    I’d ring but assuming administration work finished at this hour.

    What level of dependency? Logistics and cost raise hugely if someone needs significant care in transit.

    Company like Lifeline should be able to handle most situations.

    No care would be needed. Just transport.

    Just wondering if its straight forward enough, would i need to wait till monday to get the ball rolling. Pays 5k per annum VHI might as well get some benefit out of it.

    Is it at the request of a treating consultant? (If not, contact insurance company.)

    (Transfers are taking a lot longer these days as vehicles which have been used to transfer Covid+ patients require cleaning after each journey).
