Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank Deputy Cahill for raising this matter. As he knows, the Government does not get directly involved in those matters of detail for which the HSE is responsible. We do, however, understand the importance of the issue when this happens for a patient who has been receiving medication under the medical card scheme. We have taken note of the specific issue raised by the Deputy, and the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, having consulted with the HSE in order to see what can be done in this regard, will respond to him.
