Kerry TD Pa Daly is welcoming a reversal of a HSE policy regarding people applying for medical cards and GP provision.
If a medical card applicant was refused to be taken on by three separate GPs, the HSE had a policy to intervene and assign a GP.
Deputy Pa Daly said his office had recently been dealing with a person who was told this policy has changed and the HSE will no longer intervene to find these people a GP.

After raising the issue in the Dáil, Deputy Pa Daly was informed that the initial decision had been reversed and the HSE will continue to provide assistance in such cases.
