Perhaps I have misunderstood Dr. Flynn's answer. She is saying there would not be any scenario in which that would happen. I have spoken to the people directly involved and they were told the practices did not see medical card patients on a Saturday. That will be dealt with separately. In a scenario in which the practice's list is closed and there is no more capacity, it would be closed to everybody. There would not be a scenario whereby a GP practice would say it has closed its list to medical card patients but is still open for private patients. That simply would not happen and should not happen.
