Sir,– Tony O’Sullivan (October 11th) rightly queries how best medical cards can be issued for those most in need. A related issue which Minister for Health James Reilly or the HSE might clarify is how many medical cards have been issued to business executives, often highly remunerated, from European multinationals for themselves and their families. It seems scandalous that executives earning over €100,000 per annum can be beneficiaries of medical cards. – Yours, etc,
