Health (Repayment Scheme) Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
5:00 pm
Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)
We set up a system, and it is important that within the system there is some mechanism for recouping moneys wrongly paid out. A fraudulent claim could be from a person or son or daughter of such person. If moneys have been paid out which should not have been, every effort should be made to recoup them. This is the system we have put in place to do so. I do not imagine too many older people will make false claims.
