I ask the Minister for Health if he will clarify the situation whereby in assessing income for eligibility of a medical card, persons over 70s are assessed on gross income but under 70s are assessed on net income. Does he have any plans to rectify this and assess income based on net income for all applicants? I ask him to make a statement on the matter.
