Medical cards for the under-sixes

Sir, – Dr James Reilly keeps boasting about making medical cards available to the under-sixes (who are usually fairly healthy) but makes no mention of the fact that he is continually cutting the medical cards from the over-70s (who usually have a number of ailments).

We appreciate that he probably hopes we will all crawl away into the undergrowth and die, thus saving him a lot of trouble, but in the meantime we all have memories and votes. – Yours, etc,
