Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board-authority. I understand that the Deputy raised this matter previously in a parliamentary question last February and was advised that the CEO of the South Eastern Health Board would investigate the matter raised and reply directly to him. My Department has made further enquiries with the CEO of the health board and have been advised that the matter raised is still under investigation.
