Questions (206)

Éamon Ó Cuív

Question:

206. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the reason a P21 will not be accepted when assessing income of an applicant for a medical card, in the situation where a person's primary income is realised from PAYE employment and all of the subsidiary income from self-employment is detailed on the P21; if he will accept that in reply to a similar Parliamentary Question - No. 1163 of 5 November 2013 - he was incorrect in stating that a P21 is a tax balancing statement in respect of PAYE income only and that in fact self-employed income is also assessed on a P21 where a person also has a PAYE income as well as a self-employed income; and in view of this fact if he is willing to review the refusal to accept P21s as a statement of income; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have sought further clarification on this matter and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
