Seanad debates

Wednesday, 26 March 2003

Senator Feighan mentioned the drugs payments scheme. In 2000, the number of people covered under that scheme was 942,000. In 2001, that has increased to 1.1 million at a cost of €177 million. These figures point to the total commitment of this Government. It is a long-term plan. The issues, as the Minister pointed out, must be tackled on an individual basis, one after the other, and that is how it is being done.
