The Government has begun rolling out the phased introduction of a universal,free GP service. It marks a shift towards promoting health and wellbeing thatwill benefit our health system as a whole. It is also an important milestone inachieving Labour’s priority of enhancing primary care and keeping people wellin their own community.
Many people worry about the cost of bringing their child to the doctor andparents often have to bring young children to the doctor a couple of times ayear. Free GP care for children under 6 will make a real difference to a family'shousehold budget.
Labour in government has also ensured that adults aged over 70 will benefitfrom free GP care. This means that from this summer, up to 300,000 childrenand older people who currently have to pay to see their GP will no longerhave to.
