I thank the Senator. The opportunity GPs have to update the system is just one of the methods used to update the system. As I indicated, the HSE has the DEPS system in place and it should work. The involvement of GPs should be an additional safety net. The Senator is correct that the system should ensure updating occurs and that we should rely on GPs and others involved in the system to ensure everything is done properly.
