‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Medical Cards. County differences in medical-card eligibility
Summary
Mr. Mitchell said a smaller share of Dublin residents qualified for cards than elsewhere and asked the Minister to investigate the disparity; the Chair ruled that the issue did not arise from the preceding answer.
Is the Minister aware of the imbalance in the distribution of these cards between one county and another?
Comment on this
A smaller percentage of people in Dublin qualify for medical cards under the present rules. Would the Minister look into the matter and see if there is good reason for it?
