Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion

Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

It is a relatively small number at the moment. We have received less than ten applications at this point but the system has only been in place since 12 March. We would all have to be aware that hospitals have been especially busy over the last quarter with Covid activity. As the hospital system is trying to catch up with that, I expect that number will grow significantly over the next while.
