I was absent for much of the meeting. I apologise if my questions have already been asked by other members. I was struck with the extraordinary increase of 74% since 2005. The HSE marched everyone up to the top of the hill and gave them these cards and now it is telling them that the number of medical cards must be reduced. Is that a difficult decision for the HSE?
