Free contraception for women aged 17-26

Every woman in Ireland between the ages of 17 and 26 can avail of free contraception from January 2023.
This is not linked to having a medical card.
The scheme covers the pill and long-lasting contraception, including coil insertions.
Wheaton Hall Medical Practice very much supports this initiative.
We have applied to the HSE for approval to offer this service.
Women may be asked to show their PPS number and proof of date of birth which are required to avail of this.
