Could I move on to the medical card issue? Much ground has been covered. I wish to speak from practical experience. I will deal with discretionary medical cards for those aged under and over 70 years. All reviews have ceased for those with medical cards aged under 70. Those in the appeals process will keep their cards but those who have lost their cards await the outcome of a Cabinet decision on the matter. Is that correct?
