120 Mr. Connaughton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if an application for a medical card on behalf of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 16 has been received by the Eastern Regional Health Authority at Lord Edward Street, Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27639/04]
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 or 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.
