Arrangements for the provision of services for medical card holders, including the selection and recruitment process for general practitioners in the GMS scheme, are matters for the chief executive officer of the local health board-authority. Accordingly, the Deputy's questions have been referred to the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority for investigation and direct reply.
