I propose to take Questions Nos. 889, 891, 892 and 893 together.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. Please note that GPs are private practitioners, most of whom hold on an individual basis one or more contracts with the HSE for the provision of medical services on its behalf, such as the GMS contract for the provision of GP services without charge to medical card and GP visit card holders. Accordingly, it may only be possible for the HSE to respond in relation to individual HSE contracted GPs.
