The arrangement will see the women of Ireland receive HRT medicines/products free of charge.
The Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD has today launched the free Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Arrangement.
The arrangement will see the women of Ireland receive HRT medicines/products free of charge at the point of dispensing from today.
As part of Budget 2025, the Minister of Health announced a €20 million full year cost investment for the introduction of a state supported HRT initiative.
This agreed HRT Arrangement involves the provision of HRT products, prescribed for treating symptoms associated with all stages of menopause, at no cost to women who reside in Ireland.
This applies when HRT has been determined as clinically appropriate for a woman and is prescribed by her healthcare provider.
Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD, said:
"Free HRT is available for women from today, Sunday 1st June, at participating pharmacies all over Ireland. This is a fantastic support for women and a significant milestone in our commitment to women’s health.
“From today, every woman in Ireland has free access to both essential HRT products and the dispensing fees, removing financial barriers and providing vital support during all stages of menopause.
