Noel Ahern
Ceist:151 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Health and Children the way in which applications from persons reaching age 70 seeking medical cards are being considered; if means testing is still applied to examine which category the applicant is in; if general practitioners receive the same payment for all; if two prices still apply vis-à-vis the traditional rate and over 70 rate; and if he will instruct health boards accordingly as there appears to be potential waste in this regard.
