Mr. Val Moran:

To be clear on that, the IMO, as part of the 2019 GP agreement, has agreed to enter into negotiations on the further roll-out of free GP care to under-12s, to be done in a phased manner. We have had the pandemic for the past number of years and discussions have not been taking place on that, nor was the capacity available within general practice. As the pandemic recedes, we might expect to see those discussions resume. That should be done in a graduated fashion, with free GP care extended by a couple of years each time and capacity issues assessed.
