OVER A THIRD of Irish people have avoided a visit to their GP over the last year because of financial constraints, a new survey conducted on behalf of GP Now has revealed.
The survey also found that six per cent of parents could not afford to bring a sick child to the doctor over the past 12 months – with more than half of those surveyed facing charges of over €50 per visit.
We’d like to know: Have you avoided a GP visit in the past year due to costs?
