Written Answers. - Medical Card Scheme.

Paul Connaughton

Ceist:

494 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason potassium tablets are not included in the medical card scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the great anxiety it causes to many elderly people who depend on such tablets; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19160/00]

The Deputy will be pleased to learn that potassium chloride tablets are available under the common list of reimbursable items for the general medical services and the drug payment schemes.
