In addition to these measures, while having regard to overall resource considerations, the Government remains committed to extending medical card coverage within its lifetime to more people on low incomes, including targeted increases to ensure more children, in particular, are covered. We restate that commitment this evening. Such actions always have to be considered in the light of the whole range of priorities which arise in relation to health services. Prioritisation must be carried out with a view to having the maximum effect on improving the health of all. The introduction of all the elements of the strategy action plan must also be considered in the context of the prevailing budgetary situation.
