My question is this, and I repeat it, what sanction will be put upon this show to ensure fairness and balance?

The second point I wish to raise is whether it would be reasonable for the Government to consider when a person passes 85 years of age that he or she would automatically qualify for a medical card without making application. Yesterday I was contacted about a 94 year old lady who has had her medical card taken from her because her income exceeded the limit by €11.70. The issue is about the drugs she needs but more so about the physiotherapy she was able to get and all the ancillary services.
