Infant Care Services

The GP who attends the mother also provides care for the new-born baby; they will provide two developmental examinations free of charge at 2 weeks and 6 weeks following the birth. The public health nurse will also visit the mother and baby at home during the first 6 weeks and this service is free of charge.
All Children under 6 are entitled to free visits to participating GPs. Find out how to register for the GP visit card for children under 6 by visiting www.hse.ie.
