245 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if he will change the requirement on general medical service card holders to seek a new prescription each month in order that it can be brought into line with the less stringent requirement on long term illness card holders, who are only required to submit themselves to a clinical review once every six months, thus minimising general practitioners workloads and reducing the burden on patients; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
