Registration Now Open For New Free GP Care Service For Children Under 6




The registration for the under-6s free GP care service is now open with service commencing on July 1st.

The online registration process requires each child's PPS number, gender and date of birth, a parent's or guardian's PPS number and contact details and the selection of a GP of choice.  If your GP is accepting online registrations you will submit your application and await GP acceptance.  If your GP of choice is not accepting online registrations, you will complete the form online, print it and bring it to your GP of choice for acceptance and return to the HSE by post.  The full list of participating GPs from Co. Louth can be found on www.gpvisitcard.ie.

From July 1st all children under 6 will be eligible for free GP care as well as age-based assessments at 2 years and 5 years focused on health and well-being.

For more details and to register your children for the new service visit www.gpvisitcard.ie.  If you require assistance you may also phone the LoCall helpline on 1890 252 919.
