Vol. 568 No. 1
540 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if the renewal of a medical card in the name of a person (details supplied) will be expedited. [15483/03]
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 South-Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
