Question:514 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if a medical card will be issued immediately to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if the application will be expedited. [15348/03]
Written Answers. - Medical Cards.
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 South-Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
