Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Has the Minister carried out analysis on medical evidence given in the first instance? I get the impression that sometimes the medical people providing certification have not read the terms of the scheme. They state a condition exists but they do not read the terms of the scheme which require information on a level of support. Is this a problem? What steps is the Minister taking to ensure medical practitioners are made more aware of the terms of the scheme prior to providing certification?
