The costs associated with restoring the full range of benefits available under the treatment benefit scheme, to those which applied prior to the changes introduced in budget 2010, would depend on the rates agreed with contractors for the services they provide and on the number of claims received from qualified customers.

The total cost of the treatment benefit scheme in 2009 was €100.14 million.
