Patients’ representative wants action on medical cards for families in need

Our Children’s Health spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick said he will raise the possible measure at the 12-person group’s first meeting next week in a bid to address the public’s most pressing concerns.
Under plans previously flagged by Government, the HSE yesterday appointed 12 independent doctors, cancer experts, therapists and patient representatives to a group tasked with further reforming the discretionary medical card process.
