Mr. O'Brien will appreciate that the majority of people aged over 70 did not get their cards on a discretionary basis, they got them on a means basis. I will deal with the anomaly. Am I correct on the general point relating to those aged under 70, that the HSE is awaiting a Government decision on the restoration of medical cards?
