Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Primary Care Services: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Austin Byrne:
That is the difficulty there.
I see the salary for general practice as a niche phenomenon. It is very difficult. The model sounds attractive in rural and deprived areas. It is going to be next to impossible to implement because the associated costs and overheads will more than double the cost of service provision. I can provide numbers for that later. It is really tricky for a public health service to provide that.
