I propose to take Questions Nos. 413 to 415, inclusive, and 426 together.
Responsibility 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 executives of the South Eastern Health Board and the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the matters raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
