Mr. Jim Curran:

No. The Department commissioned a report that looked at incentives to enhance primary care. I forget what year it was done. It was probably 2013 or 2014. The report did not propose that the provision of grant aid or the introduction of tax measures would be the way to go. The report suggested that the models we had in place should be sufficient to develop primary care. GPs who have invested in their own facilities might be reluctant to abandon what they have developed. They might need see any reason to move into another facility. They might have incurred mortgages or leases. This might mean they do not have the freedom to go into new locations. We offer GPs the opportunity to take out licences in rooms in our own facilities at fairly attractive rates to encourage them to operate from our PCCs.
