My question relates to the programme for Government and the recent budget announcement of the welcome extension of medical cards to children in receipt of domiciliary care allowance. A recent parliamentary reply received from the Minister for Health stated that the heads and general scheme of a Bill are being prepared, but we have no timeline for the progression of this. That could prevent children getting the medical cards they deserve. Can the Minister provide a timeline around children in receipt of domiciliary care allowance?
