Persons with medical cards receive drugs, medicines and medical and surgical appliances without charge. Health boards may also make arrangements under the long-term illness scheme for the supply without charge of drugs, medicines and medical and surgical appliances to persons suffering from a prescribed disease or disability of a permanent or long-term nature who do not hold a medical card. There are 15 specified conditions covered under the long-term illness scheme. The scheme has not been extended since 1975 and there are no plans to change the scheme or to expand the number of conditions covered by the scheme, having regard to the fact that the needs of individuals with significant or ongoing medical expenses are met by a range of other schemes which provide assistance towards the cost of prescribed drugs and medicines, such as the drug cost subsidisation scheme and the drugs refund scheme.
