2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards

11:20 am

Mr. John Hennessy:

I am not saying that. That is not what I am saying at all. They may well have been entitled and eligible at a point in time but when it came up for review, the situation was that they were found not to be eligible but that does not mean that they are being abandoned entirely. We have other supports which we want to make sure families avail of.
