Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Will I get a reply to my questions? The Minister for Health and Children tells me she has no responsibility for the questions. I know Professor Brendan Drumm is the real Minister for Health and Children but Deputy Harney is not prepared to do the job and people over 70 are waiting for their medical cards. They are worried, sick and frightened. Elderly people are coming into my clinic because they cannot get their medical cards renewed.
