Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2004
394 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an appeal will be expedited for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny for a medical card in view of the person’s serious medical and poor financial circumstances. [5947/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility 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.
