Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
604. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health in relation to the 217 general practitioners who have taken up GMS lists since the opening of the scheme, the number already working as assistants in a practice; and the number of GPs that have applied for the GMS lists that were advertised in the last year. [50343/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraAt the end of September 2013, 246 General Practitioners (GPs) had obtained a General Medical Services (GMS) contract under the Health (Provision of General Practitioner Services) Act 2012. Details about the other aspects of the Deputy's question are not routinely collected by my Department. Therefore, I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in these matters.
