Spouses of Defence Forces personnel now eligible for €1.50 weekly cross-border health cover

Last year, PDForra expanded the service to allow veterans to sign up, and to date, more than 1,500 have joined

Enlisted Defence Forces personnel will be able to get spouses and partners included for low-cost cross-border health cover in the latest expansion of PDForra’s medical assistance scheme.

The scheme, known as PMAS, was originally set up by the association in 2018 to fast-track care for injured personnel who were often on lengthy waiting lists in Ireland for surgery.
