Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion
Dr. Joe Green:
I accept that there is a real difficulty with the scheme. We have been working with the Department to try to address the difficulties patients are experiencing. I refer the Deputy to the Department's opening statement which indicates that the Minister acknowledges those challenges and that there needs to be a review of the scheme. With regard to resources, we would have to work with the Department to improve the level of resources available for the scheme.
