Reilly: No political will to fix medical card issue

James Reilly, the health minister, has blamed the medical card debacle on his colleagues saying there has been "no political will" or support on the issue at Cabinet.

He faced more complaints from party TDs in Leinster House last night but also said there could be no more cuts in health.

TDs and senators sought answers on how discretionary medical cards would be returned to their constituents after the recent announcement that a review of such cards was being suspended.
