In regard to that additional health (amendment) Act health card, what exactly would that look like? What does Ms McDonnell Byrne believe that would need to look like? The son of a woman who is in her mid-80s recently came into my local office. She was in hospital and had that health card. She had been in one of the mother and baby homes. He felt that she was let down in regard to healthcare. I would be interested to hear what that health card would look like.
