The Government Decision (S180/20/10/2544) of 6^thOctober 2020 approved the drafting of the Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2020 to provide for revised risk equalisation credits and corresponding stamp duty levies on health insurance policies for 2021. 

Government approval to publish the Bill is expected shortly, which will facilitate the Bill commencing in the Houses before end-month and ensure its timely passage through the Oireachtas before year end.
