Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
252 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in issuing a medical card in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21153/04]
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 regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
