Social Welfare Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
We have also heard about the withdrawal of medical cards from certain people. Instead of extending that service to those in greatest need, we are contracting it. I support Senator Henry's suggestion that we categorise special needs for the increasing number of children suffering with asthma. Current structures are placing an added burden on families in receipt of medication for this condition.
