Medical Cards: Motion
7:00 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
There is universal entitlement to hospital care, except for a small charge. Some people earning €300 per week cannot get a medical card. Some 30% of our population have a medical card and we know, notwithstanding that, there are many people in difficult situations. We do not have unlimited budgets.
