Ceist:981 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if a medical card will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Carlow in view of their medical circumstances and the urgency of the case. [20854/03]
Written Answers. - Medical Cards.
Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board-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.
