I propose to take Questions Nos. 855 and 869 together. The figures below give the cumulative total of medical cards issued at year end from 2006 to date.

DateNumber of Medical Cards

End-20071,276,178
End-20081,352,120
End-20091,478,560
End-20101,615,809
End-20111,694,063

More detailed information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. However, I have asked the Health Service Executive to compile this information and I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as possible.
