Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2016
277. Deputy Denise Mitchell asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) is not in receipt of any social protection payment and as a result does not receive a medical card. [11304/16]
View answerThis client presented to the Cork Street Intreo Centre on Tuesday 17 May to make an application for basic supplementary welfare allowance. Her application is pending award as the Designated Person handling her case is awaiting additional information that the person has been asked to supply. When this information is provided to the Department a decision can be made on her application. Matters relating to medical card application and entitlement are a matter for the HSE.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
