‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Medical Cards. Farmers refused medical cards
Summary
Hussey said farmers with low rateable valuations were refused medical cards because health boards counted land income alongside social welfare; the Chair ruled the matter outside the question on cancellations.
Does the Parliamentary Secretary not think it strange that farmers whose rateable valuation is as low as £6 are being refused medical cards because the health boards state their income from land in addition to social welfare exceeds the amount set as a guideline?
