Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of medical cards is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health board or authority. The Department of Health and Children has asked the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
