Seanad
‹ Order of Business Medical card concerns
Summary
Senator Burke disputes claims about medical cards, citing their broad availability, while Senator O’Brien questions how many new cards are GP-only.
Many of the problems relating to medical cards have arisen as result of incorrect information being given and a great deal of exaggeration. I highlight the fact that over 1.9 million people have medical cards and that 254,000 additional medical cards were issued in the past two years.
