Written Answers. - Medical Cards.

John McGuinness

Question:

1140 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason an application made some months ago for a medical card in the name of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny has not been dealt with; if the financial information submitted in 2002 can be considered and the decision to refuse, taken in 2001, reversed; and if the card can be granted on medical circumstances. [16748/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin):

Responsibility for the provision of a medical card in this case rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
