Paul Kehoe

Question:

245 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Health and Children the status of a medical card for persons (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41172/08]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

As the Health Service Executive has the operational and funding responsibility for the medical card benefit, it is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has therefore requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
