Question:124 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 will qualify for a medical card under the new regulations. [27077/98]
Written Answers - Medical Cards.
The determination of eligibility for medical card is the responsibilities of the chief executive officer of the appropriate health board. I, as Minister for Health and Children, do not have a function in the issue of medical cards to individuals. However. as the determination of eligibility of the person concerned rests with the chief executive officer of the Eastern Health Board I have asked him to have the matter investigated and to reply directly to the Deputy.
