Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department and the HSE have recently commenced a Strategic Review of General Practice. The Review, with input from key stakeholders, will examine the issues affecting general practice including GP training, GP capacity, Out of Hours services reform, the eHealth Agenda, and the financial support model for general practice. The Review will then identify the arrangements necessary to improve the current system of GP care as part of a primary care-focused health service.
A report giving an assessment of the challenges affecting general practice and setting out the actions needed to provide for a more sustainable GP service, is to be presented to me following the completion of the review.
