Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Those under 25 years of age in receipt of the maximum rate of jobseeker's allowance for their age are being refused medical cards because it is not the same as the maximum rate for those who are over 25. There is a need to amend the ministerial order to remove the anomaly contained in the 2009 medical card-GP visit card national assessment guidelines. Will the Taoiseach direct the Minister for Health to amend those guidelines and remove that anomaly?
