Concerns have been raised around the Department of Health's ability to recruit and retain GPs as 13 contracts have been handed back in six months
Concerns have been raised around the Department of Health's ability to recruit and retain GPs as 13 contracts have been handed back in six months.
"The information provided by Strategic Planning and Performance Group at a City Council Committee meeting should of major concern to families," he said. "We owe a debt to those GPs who worked alongside other front line staff and served in hospitals during the pandemic. We need to retain and train more GPs and the Health Department need to be called to account.“
“Pressure in general practice is such that becoming a GP partner with its associated responsibilities is no longer an attractive career option. It is therefore no surprise that a significant number of newly-qualified GPs are either opting to work as locums for increased flexibility and autonomy, or work less than full-time for portfolio careers with other specialties or because of family commitments.
"There are many short term interventions the Department of Health could do now to halt this crisis even in the absence of a health minister and functioning Assembly: freeze QOF, address spiralling indemnity costs and simplify what is being asked of practices to ensure maximum access.
