There was good news for those wishing to apply for a Medical Card this week as the HSE officially launched its new online application system.
The new system which has been welcomed by health care professionals and the general public will now see those who quailfy for card being able to submit their application online rather than visiting their GP.
In an announcement made earlier this week a HSE spokesperson said the public can now officially submit their applications along with copies of their financial details to the hse.ie website for a review.
The new system will also allow people to find out in a matter of days whether or not they qualify for a Medical card.
According to the HSE the new system will make the application process a lot easier for people as the old system left the public waiting for a number of weeks for an application approval.
