I have a question for Dr. Ó Tuathail. The matter of corporate entities coming into general practice versus independent contractor status versus salaried GPs in certain key locations, rural practice and private urban areas, was raised at a previous session.

As a trainee, what is Dr. Ó Tuathail's view on the corporatisation of general practice, which is beginning to develop because it is an exit strategy for GPs who have no other exit strategy to retire?
