I move amendment No. 12:
I have agreed the rates for risk equalisation credits in respect of hospital bed utilisation credit of €75 in respect of a hospital stay involving an overnight stay in a hospital bed in private hospital accommodation by an insured person where the insured person is such a person under a health insurance contract effective for any period commencing on or after 31 March 2013. I will provide for this on Report Stage in Schedule 3. I have agreed the rates for risk equalisation credits in respect of age and gender and I will provide for these on Report Stage in Schedule 4, Table 2. There is non-advanced cover and advanced cover. I will circulate the list to the members. They will see there is a difference between the non-advanced cover and the advanced cover. This is to ensure people who are taking out the basic plan A are not subsidising to an unfair extent as a percentage of their package people who are in a much more expensive product plan.
In page 14, line 50, to delete "the Table" and substitute "Table 2".
