I thank the Minister of State for her reply. I wish to clarify one matter, please. Did the Minister of State state that if the GP says the person is okay to drive longer than the three years, that that is acceptable as I may have picked her up wrong on that point?

I welcome what the Minister of State said and I ask her to focus on this because there are many people who, unfortunately, have diabetes and other underlying conditions and we have to try to help people who are working and finding it difficult.

I will check the GP question but what happens in general is that when a person goes to a GP for a letter, he or she is paying for it. I have seen people who have medical cards being asked for money for such a letter.
