Make HRT free of charge.
Despite being told it would be free of charge from the beginning of this year, women in Ireland are continuing to pay between €30 and €70 for their monthly supply of prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
The Department of Health has to act quickly and keep the promise that they made so that all women can access vital HRT medicine with no charge.

Why is this important?
The Department of Health promised that HRT medicine would be free of charge from the start of 2025. This has not happened and people who need HRT are still paying for it - up to €70 per month. This medicine is life-changing and vital for so many people. We need the Department of Health to prioritise negotiations with pharmacists so that it is made free without delay.
