The maximum rates which may be paid to eligible tuberculosis patients are set out in the schedule to the Infectious Diseases (Maintenance) Regulations, 1964. The payments which may be made in the cases specified by the Deputy will vary in accordance with marital state, age of dependants, place of residence and domestic circumstances. I have accordingly set out the appropriate information in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the table:
