375. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Health the reason a full medical card has yet to be issued to persons (details supplied) in County Sligo who had lost their full medical cards under the review process last year; his views that the persons should both have had their full card returned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Health Service Executive has been asked to examine this matter and to reply to the Deputy as soon as possible.
The Health Service Executive operates the General Medical Services scheme, which includes medical cards and GP visit cards, under the Health Act 1970, as amended. It has established a dedicated contact service for members of the Oireachtas specifically for queries relating to medical cards and GP visit cards, which the Deputy may wish to use for an earlier response. Contact information has issued to Oireachtas members.
