I propose to take Questions Nos. 204, 227 and 229 together.
The Health Service Executive has been asked to examine these matters and to reply directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
The HSE operates the General Medical Scheme, which includes medical cards and GP visit cards, under the Health Act 1970 as amended. It has established a dedicated contact service for members of the Oireachtas specifically for queries relating to medical cards and GP visit cards, which the Deputy may wish to use for an earlier response. Contact information has been forwarded to Oireachtas members.
