Ms Meg Ryan:

The medical card application form is available online with Ukrainian and English side by side on the same form, in the same way many of our forms have Irish and English on the same sheet. It has also been shortened. Instead of a five- or six-page application, it is two pages. It contains very basic information and does not require some of the additional things needed for an Irish medical card applicant. That has been very useful for people in getting access to healthcare. It is the same for social welfare, where people have quick access to a personal public service number and social welfare payments, which has been very useful and very successful.
