Mattie McGrath
Question:538 Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health his views that a public health nurse refused to treat a public patient because the patient does not hold a medical card (details supplied); his further views that this constitutes a three tier system that is private patients, public patients with a medical card and public patients without a medical card; the options available to this patient to ensure that the proper aftercare is administered when this patient is not in a position to afford daily GP or nurse visits as required due to the current economic circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
