I welcome the Minister of State with responsibility for health and primary care, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, who is an ex officiomember of the committee and thank her for attending. I also welcome Mr. Tom Monks, an official from the Department. This meeting has been convened to consider the Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2015. As this is a select sub-committee of Dáil Éireann, officials cannot participate and are only here to assist the Minister of State. There is no list of amendments to be circulated.
