309. To ask the Minister for Health the position regarding the data sharing arrangements between the Revenue Commissioners and the medical card section for the purposes of establishing means; the reason the HSE seeks certified accounts and notices of assessments in instances in which a person is self-employed but whose earnings are so low that tax returns do not need to be filed with the Revenue Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Current data sharing arrangements between the HSE and the Revenue Commissioners are governed by Part 3 of the Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Act 2013.

As this is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly.
