Vol. 342 No. 1

Written Answers. - County Cork Medical Card Holders.

716.

asked the Minister for Health if medical card holders can choose their doctor; and, if so, the reason medical card holders in the Bantry area of County Cork are being deprived of this choice.

Medical card holders are entitled to register with a participating doctor who has not already got a list up to the maximum. That choice, however, is subject to the condition that the doctor does not live more than seven miles from the medical card holder. In the case of the Bantry area of County Cork, medical card holders have an effective choice of at least three doctors.
