433 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of persons over 70 years in receipt of medical cards in County Clare as of 31 December 2009; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1461/10]
View answerThe Health Service Executive (HSE) has the operational and funding responsibility for the medical card and GP visit card benefits. It collates medical card and GP visit card data by county, age and gender. Therefore, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
