3702. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Health the number of persons who have lost access to a medical card, prescribed medication or other State funded healthcare following the issuing of a return decision or deportation order in 2025 and to date in 2026; if this includes persons receiving mental health treatment or treatment for chronic illness; if continuity of care for such persons is monitored; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62381/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
