Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2013
622. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health in view of the acknowledgement by the Health Service Executive, as per correspondence dated 10 April 2013, that the most appropriate place for treatment of a person (details supplied) in County Louth is abroad, if he will advise on the way they should proceed to obtain the necessary treatment [18762/13]
View answerThe Health Service Executive has been asked to examine this matter and to reply to the Deputy as soon as possible. The Health Service Executive operates the General Medical Services scheme, which includes medical cards and GP visit cards, under the Health Act 1970, as amended. It has established a dedicated contact service for members of the Oireachtas specifically for queries relating to medical cards and GP visit cards, which the Deputy may wish to use for an earlier response. Contact information has recently reissued to Oireachtas members.
