It will be in the high 90s and those who do not have a medical card will have the GP card which gives them free access to their doctor. The weekly income is €500 for a single person and €900 for a couple in order to receive a GP visit card and the House knows what that means. Even after the change, at least 93% of persons over 70 years will still have access to a free GP card. I said 97% last week on the basis of figures coming in.
I will say this much: I recall Deputy Martin saying on discretionary medical cards-----
