Vol. 285 No. 3

Written Answers. - Medical Cards.

445.

asked the Minister for Health the number of medical cards which were withdrawn in the Western Health Board region in the last 12 months.

In the year ended 30th September last 6,971 medical cards were withdrawn by the Western Health Board in the normal review process whereby the names of persons who have died or have left the area or have become ineligible are removed. I would mention that in the same period 14,692 medical cards were issued by the board to new applicants.
