The time for talking is over and the Government must deliver a “firm proposal” to honour its commitment to provide medical cards to people with a terminal diagnosis by February 10.

That’s according to patient advocate John Wall, who himself has a terminal diagnosis, and expressed his deep frustration at the protracted process adopted by the minister and Department of Health on the medical card issue.
