Dr. David Gibney:

We do not have a problem with recruitment. However, we cannot recruit any more because we do not have any space. We are only seeing 9,000 or 10,000 patients and there are more than 20,000 in Ballymun. There are many who cannot get near our centre. We are absolutely maxed out from the point of view of using every room. We are even double-rooming. We have done everything we can but we do not have any more space. We need more space. People like working. When practices are well-resourced and they are working with primary care teams and good nurses, doctors will be attracted to work in those areas because they feel supported.
