The only reason I asked about the GP is that he or she could act as a go-between. If the woman is based in Dundalk and the consultants are based in Dublin, they could meet in the middle, such as in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda. The GP would know the history of the women and he or she could work with the panel. The role of the GP will be important going forward, even though initially the GP would not be part of the set-up.
