Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion

Dr. Mary Short:

In response to the question on doctors needing training and upskilling, he ICGP has trained more than 1,000 doctors in the provision of LARC. The demand, however, has only been approximately 17%. We perceive that this will change when this becomes freely accessible to people. Obviously, this cohort of doctors - and more besides - will need to be upskilled and probably retrained. That is where this part of the equation comes in. We do have it but the further provision will probably require upskilling in certain areas.
