Vol. 568 No. 5
361 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a medical card was refused in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if this person's application will be reviewed and a card issued without delay. [16819/03]
Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board or authority. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the South-Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
