Minister of State at the Department of Health

Where an application for a Primary Medical Certificate has been refused, any appeal of this decision is dealt with by the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, National Rehabilitation Hospital, Rochestown Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. As this is an independent Board, whose decision is final, the Minister for Health has no role in relation to appeal process.
