girls how much are you paying per gp visit in dublin? my gp is 60 and i'm really starting to think she's a bit of a cheek given "the current climate!". i was looking at brochure today for primacare in dundru and it's 50 a go, and 40 if you're a member or something... need to look into it more! i'm happy with my gp but think i might change to someone else if others have lowered their prices... i was thinking of saying it to her on my next visit but i know i'd chicken out

I pay €55. I'd love to have the guts to say I want a discount but I really like my GP. It took me years to find one that I was happy with and one that I'm happy to bring my family up with him looking after their health.
I had to beg to get onto his books as it was and needed a referral from a friends BIL who's a surgeon that knows him!
He does look after me too. I was there a lot in January and spent a fortune and the next visit he gave it to me free and put it down as pregnancy related which I thought was very nice of him.

Well mine is also 60 and my OH is 55 so I think that the prices unfortunately are still high in Dublin.

Mine is €50, €35 for a repeat/follow on visit, €25 for a repeat prescription.
This seems reasonable for Dublin but really it's a ridiculous price to be paying.
In France there was outrage recently when they tried to up the gp fees to €26!

Jesus I'm lucky then! €45 for a visit, and if I need a repeat visit for th same problem its free, and he's says he charges for repeat scripts but he will never take money for them.
In fairness we've been with him for about 18 years, and I use to travel to go back to him even when I lived in a different county.

My GP costs €55 but I get €25 per visit back on my health insurance so ultimately it's €30 a visit!
