Written answers

General practitioners are private practitioners, while most hold a GMS contract with the HSE to provide medical services on its behalf to medical card and GP visit card holders without charge, they are not employed by the HSE. I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to the number of GMS GPs that have retired or otherwise vacated their GMS panel.
