Commitment
Extend free GP care to all children under 12
What this means
- Fianna Fáil promised in its 2024 general election manifesto to make GP visits free for all children under 12.[source]
- This commitment was first stated on 17 November 2024 and remains a promise only, with no confirmed delivery date set.[source]
- The plan sits within a broader health package that also includes expanding hospital beds, consultants, and the number of GPs.[source]
- Free GP care for under-12s would reduce out-of-pocket costs for families and is part of Fianna Fail's stated aim to cut health charges.[source]
- Voters and watchdogs can use this commitment to hold Fianna Fail to account if the party enters government after the 2024 election.[source]
