586. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Health if consideration will be given in cases of persons with mental health conditions who are taking up employment for rehabilitative purposes to letters from a relevant medical practitioner confirming the rehabilitative nature of the employment and whether letters from the employer or employment agency will be sufficient evidence for medical card entitlement or assessment, rather than the existing requirements, which are extremely difficult especially for self-employment whereby the Revenue Commissioners request such persons to set themselves up as companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
