Ceist:373 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the way in which his Department determines when and if new health services, such as genetic testing, will be extended to medical card holders free of charge when such new services become known to his Department; the criteria used to make such a determination; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that delays in this regard are contributing to gross inequality in the health care system; the plans he has to extend free genetic testing in certain circumstances set down by his Department to all medical card holders; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
