Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
I can give a summary of the funding at gross level, which might be helpful to the Deputy. In 2020, we spent approximately €800 million on GP services, some €1.2 billion on pharmacy services, including medicine costs and fees, approximately €825 million on high-tech medicines, €41 million on the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS, and €23 million on the ophthalmic scheme.
