Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
Since November 2020, we estimate there were just over 2,000 extra over-70s cards that would not have been awarded until the thresholds were increased. Prior to the change, 15% of applications were over the threshold. That has now reduced to about 7% of applications over the threshold.
