That was the policy of Fianna Fáil. The Deputy should not confuse this Government's policy with that of Fianna Fáil.

It is open to insurers to introduce new non-advanced products at any time, subject to meeting the qualifying criteria and adhering to a 30-day notice period to the Health Insurance Authority.
