How can you be 5 and under and apply it to a child's sixth birthday???

Brendan Howlin specifically confirmed that it applies to five and under on Sean O'Rorke this morning.

Two minutes later he referred to it as under fives again in passing, but when concentrating he was clear.

Will this include free visits to the out of regular hour gp services e.g. southdoc, lukedoc, tlcdoc, northdoc, etc.?
