Will the Department find somewhere on the form to advise people that GPs are paid a fee? I do not mind if the sum is not mentioned. However, like Deputies O'Dea and Ó Snodaigh, I am well aware of the fact that people pay the GP a visit fee of €55 or whatever it is purely to get a form completed and the GP is picking up another €44 for it. It seems a bit rich.
