What is the amount for the 2012/2013 "allowable medical deduction" code 4008?

The old medical aid contribution deduction has been replaced by a medical tax credit. It is also dependent on the number of members on your medical aid, but instead of being taken off your income it comes off your actual tax owing as a credit. The idea is to even out the system so that regardless of who pays medical aid or how much they earn they would still be entitled to the same benefit.
