As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.

I understand from the Primary Care Reimbursement Service of the Health Service Executive that where a person submits an appeal within 21 days of a decision, they retain their Medical Card/GP Visit card until the appeal is decided. I have asked the PCRS to verify the circumstances in this case, and I will revert to the Deputy directly in the coming days.
