Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
755 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason old aged pensioners have to pay doctors’ fees when getting certification for a driving licence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21400/04]
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.
