Clann Medical Centre provides the Universal Contraceptive Service for Women aged 17-35 years of age.

 

With this scheme, patients in this age group are entitled to free contraception consultations and prescriptions.

​​

Who is eligible for the scheme?

​​​

​All women aged 17-35 (GMS/DVC/Private) who are ordinarily resident in the State are eligible for the scheme, from the date of their 17th birthday to the day before their 36th birthday.

​

Patients will need to provide their full name, address, date of birth and PPSN to access the scheme.

​

What types of contraception are covered?

 

All contraceptive options which are currently included on the GMS Reimbursement List are covered. This includes the contraceptive pill, patch and ring, Mirena, Kyleena, Jaydess and Yanae coils (also known as intrauterine devices or systems; IUS, IUD), Implanon (contraceptive implant) and Depo Provera (contraceptive injection).
Emergency contraception is also covered under the scheme. Emergency contraception may also be accessed directly from the community pharmacist without attending a GP (now free of charge under the scheme).
