I thank the Minister of State for his response. I will arrange to have details of the relevant cases sent to him. When my office contacted the primary care reimbursement system, the medical cards of the individuals in question were reinstated as soon as it was realised that a system failure had occurred. The problem, however, is the distress caused by such failures. The system should be sufficiently robust to prevent such cases or at least minimise the number of them.
