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

Mr. John Hennessy:

It will not take an undue amount of time in that we have a good infrastructure of local health centres. We want to ensure that a consistent approach is adopted across the entire country on this matter. There will be a need for a degree of training for staff. I will not say it will be weeks because it may take some months.
