Vol. 239 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Medical Cards.

39.

asked the Minister for Health the number of medical cards issued by the Kerry County Council for each of the past ten years.

I presume that the question relates to the number of general medical services cards current in each of the past ten years.

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

Following is the statement:

Year

Number of Medical Cards current on 31st December

Number of persons covered by these cards, that is, holders and dependants.
