Question:373 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will issue a medical card to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [26190/01]
Written Answers. - Medical Cards.
The issue of the determination of the eligibility of persons for medical cards is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board. Accordingly, I have referred this case to the chief executive officer of the South-Eastern Health Board and asked that he have the matter investigated and revert to the Deputy directly when his investigation is complete.
