206 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork was disqualified from a medical card within weeks of commencing work. [13872/03]
Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board-authority. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply directly to him.
