GPs to oppose free visits plan for under-6s

The National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP) accused Mr Varadkar of attempting to buy the next general election, after rival union the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) said on Thursday it is backing the changes to help reform the health service.
Under long-stated plans only now coming to fruition, the Department of Health has struck a €67m deal with GPs to gain support for plans to allow children under the age of six to be given free primary care visits.
