Question:

274 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason persons (details supplied) in Dublin 8 were refused a full medical card in view of the fact that both of them are in need of regular medication and both are on social welfare payments. [14798/10]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
