The health (general practitioner medical service) Bill will fulfil the Government's commitment to support young families, protect children in their critical early years and improve the overall health of future generations by providing free GP care to children under six.

This is a Bill the parents of young children support and are waiting to see published and passed. When can we expect publication?

We expect that within the next couple of weeks. The Minister of State, Deputy White, has done a great deal of work on this and it is practically concluded.
