Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2026
1077. Deputy Paul Nicholas Gogarty asked the Minister for Health whether there are notable regional variations in approval rates for a primary medical certificate; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15014/26]
View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. The Department of Finance will respond to the question on the number of persons awarded a primary medical certificate on appeal as this concerns the operations of the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal which is operated by the Revenue Commissioners, under the remit of the Minister for Finance. The remaining elements of the PQ will be addressed by the HSE.
