asked the Minister for Health if he will state the number of persons now insured under the schemes operated by the Voluntary Health Insurance Board.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Voluntary Health Insurance.
I have ascertained from the Voluntary Health Insurance Board that approximately 52,000 persons are now covered by the board's schemes.
Not bad for the first 12 months.
No. It is very satisfactory indeed for the first 12 months. I congratulate the Deputy on that.
