Question:289. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if a young person between 18 and 25 years of age on a social welfare payment and independently living can be considered more disadvantaged than other citizens of the State due to the fact of having an income threshold that is too low to make that person eligible for a medical card; his views that these persons are considered to be less entitled or in need of medical care; his strategy to ensure that young vulnerable persons can access medical care in the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
