I propose to take Questions Nos 6, 7, 9, 12, 16, 18, 21, 23, 31, 35, 39, 42, 45, 48 and 58 together.

At the outset, let me again put on the record of the House that there is no policy to abolish the awarding of medical cards on discretionary grounds or to target any patient group. I welcome Deputy Kelleher's belated acknowledgement that there is no such policy in existence.
