Vol. 268 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Medical Cards.

25.

asked the Minister for Health the number of recipients of non-contributory old age pensions, non-contributory widows' pensions and unemployment assistance who were refused medical cards in County Donegal.

I am informed by the North Western Health Board that no recipient of a non-contributory old age pension or of a non-contributory widows' pension has been refused a medical card in County Donegal.

The number of recipients of unemployment assistance whose applications for medical cards have been disallowed is not readily available, but it has been sought from the health board and should be available in about two weeks' time. Perhaps the Deputy would repeat the question about that time.
