Irish Cancer Society to discuss medical card issue with Health Minister

The Irish Cancer Society will meet with the Health Minister James Reilly and officials from the Department of Health today to discuss discretionary medical cards.

The group is seeking the inclusion of cancer as a condition which would entitle the applicant to a discretionary medical card.
