Gay Mitchell

Question:

394 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a medical card will be issued to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17464/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board or authority. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
