Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 December 2016
208. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Health if the Revenue Commissioners will locate a primary medical certificate for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38244/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
My Department has no role in relation to the work of the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. However, as applications for Primary Medical Certificates are processed by the Health Service Executive (HSE), I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for investigation and direct reply.
