‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Medical Cards. Medical cards for limited eligibility patients
Summary
Deputy Nolan asked whether people with limited hospital eligibility should receive medical cards; the Minister said this would not be feasible in present circumstances.
Has the Minister considered the recommendation in the commission's report some time ago that people on the general medical services register and people with limited eligibility should all have medical cards rather than having this three way sort of situation? That recommendation was made some time ago. Has the Minister considered it or will he consider it in the future?
