As Members will be aware from the Second Stage debate the main purpose of this Bill is to specify the risk equalisation credits and corresponding stamp duty levies on the rate of the hospital bed utilisation credit to apply from 1 May next year. Additionally, the Bill specifies the allowable rate of the net premium for young adults, provides for the transfer of an insured person from a restricted membership undertaking without the application of the additional waiting period and makes some other technical amendments to the Health Insurance Acts 1994 to 2013.
