GP in test case to stall free care for under-6s
In what is regarded as an important test action, Clare-based doctor Yvonne Williams wants the introduction of the new scheme postponed until her representative body, the National Associa-tion of General Practitioners (NAGP), has an opportunity to negotiate the scheme on behalf of its members.
It is claimed the proposed scheme, which is due to come into effect in July, to provide free healthcare to all children under the age of six, will result in changes to Dr Williams’s General Medical Services (GMS) contract with the HSE.
