A Kilkenny Councillor claims the government’s deal to provide free GP care for under-sixes is ‘auction politics’.
Pat McKee is running in the Carlow Kilkenny bye-election as the ReNua candidate.
The IMO last week agreed a new contract deal with the Health Minister Leo Varadkar but the National Association of general Practicioners is urging doctors to reject the controversial scheme.
Councillor McKee says ‘there’s plenty of ways the money could be better spent locally’.
