174 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children if she has received a report from the Health Service Executive on turnaround times on fresh applications for the medical card, renewal of medical card cover where there has been a change of circumstances, and on-line renewal of medical cards where there has been no change in circumstances in respect of the new centralised processing facility for the Dublin area; and if she will issue a directive that, where any application for renewal is waiting over eight weeks, an extension of cover of three months would be automatically granted to prevent gaps in cover and anxiety about being without cover.
