View answer164 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an application for a medical card will be expedited in the name of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny on medical grounds. [17968/04]
View answer165 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if a medical card will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny as a matter of urgency. [17969/04]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 163 to 165, inclusive, together.
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 of the South Eastern Health Board to investigate the matters raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
