A lot (if not all) of your answers are saying no. I disagree. Gp's are now few and far between in Ireland so a lot of them are getting picky about who they sign on,. Most will only sign on immediate family of existing members that live close by. I tried to register with my local one and they said that they are full and are not taking on ANYONE! I live just outside 'main' dublin in the county and The clinic is huge and the population of the immediate area is pretty small and I cant sign on? i don't think anyone really has a hope!

No you don't, you can go to whatever doctor you like.

If you have a medical card you don't have to pay for visits.

No, but if you will be using a medical card, you need to find a doctor who is willing to take on new patients. Some prefer the private patient willing to pay €55 or more each time, whereas medical card patients pay nothing.

no you don't the doctor can live as far away from you as you like

No, but at the same time you don't want to be registering with a doctor who's 10 miles away.....

Some of us have no choice Podge & Rodge, I live 12 miles from the nearest doctor, 35 miles from the nearest 'hospital'.
