HSE to reissue medical cards to Magdalene survivors

The HSE will reissue medical cards sent to Magdalene survivors after complaints they identified the women as having been in a laundry.

The cards, issued in the last few days to survivors under the State’s redress scheme, identify the holder as a member of the Magdalene redress scheme.

The card is headed with “Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Act, 2015” with the hol- der assigned an RWRCI number.
