The changes in income limits for medical cards for people over the age of 70 have not yet been implemented, despite the announcement in last October's Budget.
That's according to Castlebar Independent Councillor Michael Kilcoyne, who's calling on the HSE and Department of Health to make this a priority.
The last Budget included a clause that would allow the income limit for over 70's to be increased, so they could get medical cards.
But Councillor Kilcoyne says the legislation has not yet been implemented, and the HSE say they don't know when the changes will come into effect.
