Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I seek clarity on the issue of legislation. Yesterday, we were given to understand the Social Welfare Bill will be published in the first week of November. Will the Minister for Health and Children deal with the element of that Bill that deals with the automatic right to medical cards. Is it the case that the Bill will be taken by the Minister for Social and Family Affairs but that part of it will be taken by the Minister for Health and Children?
