Commitment
Introduce free GP care and abolish health charges
What this means
- People Before Profit promised in their 2024 general election manifesto to make GP visits free for everyone in Ireland.[source]
- The party also committed to abolishing health-related charges, which currently add out-of-pocket costs for patients using public health services.[source]
- People Before Profit said they would lift the recruitment embargo in the health service to allow more staff to be hired into public healthcare roles.[source]
- This commitment was first stated on 14 November 2024 and remains a promise only, with no delivery date set and no action taken yet.[source]
- Tracking this promise matters for accountability because it affects how affordable and accessible healthcare is for people across Ireland.[source]
