Vol. 259 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Health Contributions.

6.

asked the Minister for Health in respect of contributions under the Health Contributions Act, 1971, the number of persons paying to (a) the Revenue Commissioners, (b) the Department of Social Welfare, (c) the health boards and (d) individual health boards; and the total estimated income from each source for 1972-73,

Estimates of the numbers in the categories referred to in (a), (b) and (c) and the income due from each of these sources in 1972-73 are given in a table which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I will have circulated with the Official Report. As regard (d), most of the health boards have not yet completed the detailed listing of liable farmers and I am not therefore at present in a position to state the number in the area of each board on which demands will be made.

Following is the table:
