Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion
Ms Rachel Morrogh:
On the question about medical cards for cancer patients, it has been in our pre-budget submission for the last number of years. Ideally, Sláintecare would be implemented. We see that as a stop-gap but there is that magnificent strategy that has been adopted. It has agreement from patient groups like us and medical organisations and politicians, so it is a powerful strategy and we want political focus on the implementation of that.
