I understand the Deputy is referring to all persons over 65 years. Under the current general medical services scheme participating general practitioners enter into contracts to provide services to patients who have been deemed eligible for such services by the local area of the Health Service Executive. Upwards of 48% of persons in this age category qualify for medical cards at present. The capitation rates payable are an annual amount, which reflects the age, gender and location of the patient and the agreements in place in this regard with the Irish Medical Organisation. I have no plans to introduce a service such as that suggested by the Deputy.
