585. Deputy John Deasy   asked the Minister for Health when the annual appeals report on the health repayment scheme for 2010 will be published. [26907/11]
Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly): The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office is an independent office, established in December 2006 under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006, to provide a service to those who wish to appeal a decision of the Scheme Administrator.
The most recent report issued by the Appeals Office was for the year 2009. Activity levels have been low throughout 2011 and the Scheme is now drawing to a close with only a small number of appeals remaining to be determined. I expect the Office to produce a report covering the period from January 2010 by the end of 2011.
