Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 April 2014
571. Deputy Ciara Conway asked the Minister for Health if chiropody care is available in the community free of charge to persons over the age of 70 anywhere in the State; where this is the practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16005/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhile there is no statutory obligation to provide a chiropody/podiatry service, such services are provided by the HSE to medical card patients with the greatest needs. I have asked the Health Service Executive to investigate the particular queries raised by the Deputy and to respond directly to her.
