In 2011 to date, 27,000 applications for the UCR Health Levy refund have been processed and a total of €6.8m refunded. There are approximately 10,000 applications on hand awaiting processing. The total monies refunded in respect of this category of refund in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are shown below.
