Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion

Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

Ms O'Callaghan probably forgot to say that the Department has instructed us, in the primary care reimbursement service, to make sure that after six months, we review the operation of the new scheme so that we can provide it with information on the system in the legislative process. The Department has instructed us to put in place a communication working group. We are in the process of getting that group in place and there will be stakeholders there. The HSE has a special division that runs a stakeholder engagement process. I am not involved myself. I can information in this regard, if the Senator wishes.
