Health Services: Motion.
I strongly support the provision of medical cards for children with disabilities. It is an area that needs to be addressed because such children need more medical attention. Some families who have children with special needs cannot afford medical treatment. I commend the Minister on the provision of medical cards to everyone over the age of 70. Tight budgetary constraints did not allow the Government to deliver the 200,000 extra medical cards this year. We must remember this Government has four years left in office and it will implement these measures as soon as it is economically possible.
