Long Term Illness Scheme

People with Down Syndrome, who are not already medical card holders, may obtain without charge the drugs, medicines and medical and surgical appliances for the treatment of that condition. These free drugs, medicines and appliances are provided under the Long Term Illness Scheme. This scheme is administered by the Health Service Executive (HSE), under Section 59 of the Health Act, 1970.

Remember, the Long Term Illness Scheme does not depend on your income or other circumstances and is separate from the Medical Card Scheme and the GP Visit Card Scheme.

Further information can be found from citizens information

You cannot apply onine or download a form. You must visit your GP or local health office of the HSE
