Sinn Féin’s alternative health budget proposes a ‘sláintecard’ to bring together all discounts and packages so people know what they are entitled to receive.
The party is proposing €1.1 billion in new health measures for next year, including €657.7 million in current expenditure measures and an additional €461.6 million in capital or one-off spending.
