I thank the Minister of State for his reply but I am disappointed when one examines the individual circumstances of this case. To date, the family has not received a letter from the HSE. I will pass this information on to them. I understand the family is above the financial threshold but the costs of services and needs of the child in question greatly outweigh the family’s income. If the mother in question were to give up work tomorrow, she would have a medical card reinstated. Instead, she loses her medical card because she is working. I hope everything that can be done will be done for this family to have its medical card reinstated.
