352 Ms F. Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Health the plans, if any, he has to reintroduce medical cards for students in view of the documented poverty which many students are experiencing.
Under the Health Act, 1970, medical cards are issued to persons who, in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer of the appropriate health board are unable, without undue hardship, to provide general practitioner services for themselves and their dependants.
