Letters to the Editor: Medical card plea from exhausted mum/carer

Letters to the Editor: Medical card plea from exhausted mum/carer

Sat, 09 Jan, 2021 - 10:17

I’m writing because I received a letter from the HSE on Saturday, December 19. It is a letter looking to review my medical card.

I’m a lone parent of two children, a full-time carer to one of them who is home from school since early March last year. He has a severe/ profound intellectual disability and has complex medical issues. He is immunosuppressed, a wheelchair user, and requires around the clock care.
