Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I met a young man with multiple sclerosis whose wife was working so he was totally over the income limit. Initially, he could not get access to particular treatment unless he had a medical card. We got it over the line. He was refused initially. In fairness to the medical card division, it reviewed it and gave him a card, but this is the kind of thing I am talking about, where someone could not get access to the treatment he required because it was only through a HSE facility.
