| Minister for Health James Reilly has said he is annoyed by the cost of private health insurance and asked why insurance premiums are increasing all the time. |
| Speaking at an Oireachtas Health Committee, Mr Reilly said he had asked the VHI to explain why it pays out 80% of all private claims, even though it only has 50% of the customer base. |
| He also questioned why procedures that now take 20 minutes still cost what they cost when they took two hours. |
