A Primary Medical Certificate is a requirement for the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Scheme, which comes under the remit of the Department of Finance and is operated by the Revenue Commissioners.

The criteria for a Primary Medical Certificate are set out in the Finance Acts and relevant Department of Finance Regulations.  Accordingly the Department of Health has no function in amending the criteria for a Primary Medical Certificate.
