Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services, including aids and appliances, for medical card holders is, by legislation, a matter for the CEO of the relevant health board or authority. My Department has asked the CEO of the Mid-Western Health Board to investigate the matter and to reply directly to him.
