Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2004
400 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Minister for Health and Children if a medical card will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Louth who has cancer and who had a symphysiotomy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5953/04]
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 CEO of the North Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
