Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

As far back as 2014, a promise was made that this practice would cease. That was six years ago and it continues.
I have written to the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, to ask him to cease this practice immediately. I ask that the Deputy Leader on behalf of the Members of the House also writes to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, to request that this cruel heartless act of reviewing medical cards for people diagnosed with cancer and who are terminally ill cease immediately.
