Vol. 181 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Dispensary Districts: Free Medical Treatment.

6.

Mr. Ryan

asked the Minister for Health in respect of each dispensary district in Dublin City what is the total number of persons, including children, who are entitled to free medical attention by virtue of blue cards issued to the head of the household.

As the reply to the question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to circulate it with the official Report.

The following is the statement:—
