Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
363 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children his proposals to provide for drivers over 70 years having medical examinations on their medical cards regarding their eligibility to drive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17287/04]
View answerMedical card holders are eligible for a range of treatments and services without charge under the GMS scheme. However, the issue of certificates to any medical card holder, regardless of age, for medical examinations required for a driving licence, may incur charges. I do not have any plans to change the current system.
