Health (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)
Is the Minister aware of any plans to review the GP-only cards or could negotiations be held with the Department of Education and Science on the proposal that a medical cardholder would be exempt from paying exam fees, for example? Is this policy rigidly stuck to GP-only cards or is it open to review, for instance a possible extension over time to include optical, dental or other costs?
