Under-6s-free-care

Children under the age of 6 are entitled to free visits to a participating GP.In addition to free GP visits, the GP visit card for children under 6 covers specific assessments at age 2 and 5 and care for children with asthma. These assessments are preventive checks that include charting age, weight, and height and taking appropriate follow-up action.


The asthma checks will assess your child’s asthma and review their medications, including ensuring that your child is using inhalers correctly. A written plan will be given to you to help you manage your child’s asthma. The initial check takes place when asthma is diagnosed in a child over 2 years of age, followed by another check in the following 3 months and then annually until the child reaches the age of 6. For more information and for frequently asked questions, please see below or visit  HSE.
