Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards

Mr. John Hennessy:
That is a refusal of renewal on means grounds. Quite a number of others lose their cards for various other reasons such as they do not choose to renew, they have left the area or circumstances have changed and they decide not to proceed. The cards are cancelled for those reasons.
That is probably around the number one would expect in that for a large number of medical card holders circumstances do not change.
