Vol. 436 No. 4

Written Answers. - General Medical Services Scheme.

Liz McManus

Ceist:

208 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health when he intends to extend the GMS, in view of recent reports that he intends to increase eligibility to the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no proposals to extend the GMS scheme. In view of the discretionary powers of chief executive officers to issue medical cards, I do not consider it to be justifiable to extend the scheme at the present time.
