Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 1948 of 4 November 2025, if she will ensure the issuance of a reminder to practitioners of the terms of the scheme and ensure that women who have been wrongfully charged for services are, insofar as possible, made aware of this and reimbursed (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

Officials in my Department and the HSE will remind the organisation representing GPs of the obligations of contracted GPs under the Maternity and Infant Care Scheme at an appropriate time.

Where a patient who is registered believes they have been incorrectly charged for services covered by the scheme, then that patient should report the matter to their HSE Local Health Office who will investigate the matter.
