Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI
2:00 am
Dr. Karina Doorley:
We do not tend to include the medical card because there are so many ways to measure the value of a medical card. There is the cost to the State versus the value to the individual. Those are two very different things so we tend to not include that because depending on the option one chooses, it can have vastly different effects.
