700. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 452 and 454 of 3 March 2015, (details supplied) the number of persons the Health Service Executive received data on from the Department of Social Protection in 2014; and the number of persons that the executive has received data on from the same Department in 2015 to date.

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 issued to Oireachtas members.
If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office who will follow up the matter with them.
