The position is that health expenses relief will be granted at the standard rate only in respect of expenses incurred from 1 January 2009 with the exception of nursing home expenses which will continue to be granted at the marginal rate.
Issues relating to financial support for health care are a matter in the first instance for the Minister for Health and Children.
