Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) has been requested to fill out a new application due to a simple clerical error on a declaration form; if the person will be issued with a new declaration form whereby the person can clarify the error on the previous declaration form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 was issued to Oireachtas members.
