    Comment "1) Not to be confused with the system of direct payments for healthcare in the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, these are monetary payments in lieu of services, made by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to individuals (or to a representative or nominee on their behalf) to allow them to purchase the care and support they need. 2) Not to be confused with the broader term out-of-pocket payment. For the different types of out-of-pocket payments, see Table 1 - Typology of out‐of‐pocket payments per country, 'Out-of-pocket payments In healthcare systems in the European Union', HOPE - European Hospital and Healthcare Federation."
