An online registration facility to register your child or children will be available from 1st May 2017 for a Medical Card if your child receives Domiciliary Care Allowance. Registration forms will also be available from that date. This impacts on approx. 10,000 children who will now automatically qualify for a Medical Card. Here's the link http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/schemes/mc/dca

The Health (Amendment) Act 2017 provides for Medical Card eligibility for all children in respect of whom Domiciliary Care Allowance is payable.

Please share this page or join in the campaign if your child will need a place in these schools.

There are 28 secondary schools in Dublin 2,4,6,8, and no autism unit in any of them. A campaign has been launched to approach schools, explaining the benefits and needs of opening such a unit in their schools.
