Budget 2020 provided for a €0.50c reduction in prescription charges for all medical card holders. The charge will be reduced by €0.50c to €1 per item for the over 70s and by €0.50c to €1.50 for persons under 70. The maximum monthly charge would also be reduced to €10 and €15 respectively.
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that these reductions took effect from 1 November 2020.
