To ask the Minister for Health if he will provide a date for the publication of the Walsh Report into the practise of symphysiotomy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand this question refers to prescription charges. Medical card holders are required to pay a €1.50 charge per item for medicines and other prescription items supplied to them by community pharmacists, subject to a cap of €19.50 per month for each person or family. Prescription charges do not apply to children in the care of the HSE or to methadone supplied to patients participating in the Methadone Treatment Scheme.
