Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Health Insurance Levy: Discussion
1:05 pm
Mr. Liam Sloyan:
In the last quarter of 2012, 10,000 left the market. On Deputy Kelleher's question, there is a line with 66% of private hospitals. The feedback at the health insurance consultative forum was that people wanted a clear demarcation. If one applies to every type of benefit a clear demarcation, which was not in contemplation under the market when the policies were originally designed, some changes must be made. In many cases, benefits could be significantly increased.
