Earlier, I heard on radio that if the Government is to effect €100 million in savings from the Estimates, it will be paid by pensioners. This cost will be borne by the members of the Irish Medical Organisation, who receive four times as much for treating patients under the medical card scheme for the over 70s as they do under the normal scheme. That is where the money will be saved.
