IMO: U6 GP care issues ‘dealt with’

The Irish Medical Organisation says key concerns it raised over free GP care for under sixes have been “comprehensively dealt” with by the HSE and the Department of Health.

The HSE has agreed to extend the deadline for GPs to return contracts by two weeks to Friday, June 5.

The health authority also decided that patients aged under six would not be reassigned to GPs who take up the contract during the summer.
