In many instances, more money is spent on assessing a medical card than the cost of the card itself. This morning, I contacted the HSE. It is working on the basis of the 2006 guidelines for medical cards, as no new guidelines have been issued in the past two days. There is confusion. As the Minister stated, let any anomalies be clarified. Naturally, I will vote with the Government.
