FREE GP CARE FOR UNDER 6s & OVER 70s The Government has begun rolling out the phased introduction of a universal, free GP service. It marks a shift towards promoting health and wellbeing that will benefit our health system as a whole. It is also an important milestone in achieving Labour’s priority of enhancing primary care and keeping people well in their own community.

Many people worry about the cost of bringing their child to the doctor and parents often have to bring young children to the doctor a couple of times a year. Free GP care for children under 6 will make a real difference to a family's household budget.

Labour in government has also ensured that adults aged over 70 will benefit from free GP care. This means that from this summer, up to 300,000 children and older people who currently have to pay to see their GP will no longer have to.
