Vol. 405 No. 5

Written Answers. - General Medical Service Scheme.

Pat Rabbitte

Question:

99 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Health if, following the completion of the review of the general medical service scheme, he will agree to meet the group of general practitioners from Tallaght, Dublin 24, who have been seeking a meeting with him to discuss the operation of the new payments system.

The first review of the new contract for GMS doctors was completed recently and its chairman, Mr. John Horgan has submitted his report to the parties.

The report covers the specific matters raised by the Irish Medical Organisation, some of which are of concern to the Tallaght/Clondalkin General Practitioner Group.

It is now a matter for the parties to consider the report and its recommendations. In view of this, I would consider it inappropriate for me, at this time, to discuss with individual groups issues arising from this report.
