The demand for medical card appeals has increased significantly during this year. In order to deal with this increased demand, the HSE is committing additional resources to this service. From 24th November 2009 all Appeals Offices will be answering calls from the public during specified times and these will be advertised through the HSE website. In relation to this specific case, this has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
