The purpose of the Bill is to specify the revised credits and corresponding stamp duty levies to apply on health insurance policies from April 2022. The credit and levy rates for next year strike a fair balance between the need to support community rating while maintaining sustainability of the market. I reiterate the Government's commitment to improving public health services under the Sláintecare programme. I thank everyone for their co-operation on Second Stage and for supporting this technical Bill.
