I propose to take Questions Nos. 236 and 237 together.

Health Amendment Act (HAA) Cards are medical cards provided under the Health (Amendment) Act 1996 to individuals who contracted Hepatitis C from contaminated blood products. The information requested by the Deputy in relation to those cards is held by the Department of Health and therefore the questions are more appropriate to that Department.
