With the agreement of members, we can include the issue raised by the Deputy on the agenda for the meeting with the HSE.

We can notify the HSE that at the meeting on 14 November we will be discussing Chapter 22, eligibility for medical cards, and also the matter the Deputy raised, with some other matters relative to the HSE budget. We can put it to it in such general terms, if that is what the committee agrees to. We will also send it a transcript of today's meeting at which the Deputy has raised the matter and ask it to be prepared for a general discussion on the budget and the specific issue the Deputy has raised. Is that agreed? Agreed.
