The Health Service Executive has the operational and funding responsibility for medical cards and GP visit cards. It collates medical card and GP visit card data by county, age and gender. My Department has therefore requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address these matters and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
