Public Accounts Committee

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

12:10 pm

Mr. John Hennessy:

We conduct a certain amount of risk assessment at the award stage. Clients whose circumstances may be subject or liable to change in the short term would not be granted a card that lasts for three years, but for less time so that we can pick up on the changed circumstances.
