286 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will clarify the situation whereby all people over 70 years with a medical card have to in some cases pay a general practitioner for a medical certificate to enable them to renew their driving licence; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that some GPs do not charge medical card holders for this service while other GPs charge a fee ranging from €25 to €50; if this service should be provided free to medical card holders aged 70 as this is putting an unnecessary burden on old age pensioners with medical cards; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
