As of 1 April 2017, there are 2,482 GPs who hold GMS and GP Visit Card contracts with the HSE for the provision of general practitioner services to medical card holders and GP visit card holders.

As the numbers of GPs with GMS contracts available to take on medical card and GP visit card patients in Dublin 7 is not routinely collected by my Department, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
