Government Plans Fair Deal - Nursing Home Support Scheme
A Fair Deal is the new proposed Nursing Home Support Scheme. A Fair Deal is intended to replace the current public nursing home scheme and the private nursing home subvention scheme. Under A Fair Deal, each person will make a contribution to care costs, based on means. The State will pay all the balance, in both public and private nursing homes.

Medical Cards
Medical Cards allow people to access Family Doctor or GP services, community health services, dental services, prescription medicine costs, hospital care and a range of other benefits free of charge.
Most people who get a Medical Card do so because their income is below a certain level. It is also possible to get a Medical Card if the costs of meeting your medical needs causes you financial hardship, or if you have entitlement under EU regulations.
Medical Cards are issued by the HSE's 32 Local Health Offices nationwide.
For Medical Card Applications, the HSE only considers your income after tax and PRSI is deducted, rather than total income.
