Vol. 571 No. 1

Written Answers. - Medical Cards.

John McGuinness

Ceist:

922 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an application for a medical card will be expedited in the name of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny in view of their medical circumstances and their urgent need for a medical card. [20421/03]

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.
