Public Accounts Committee

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

1:00 pm

Mr. John Hennessy:

The review process tends to be the more productive one for us. The director general mentioned that our focus is on the accuracy of the GMS register. That ensures the people who need to be on it are on it and the people who are not entitled to be on it are removed. That, in essence, is what we are trying to do.
