Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in Acute and Community Care Settings: Discussion
Ms Susan Clyne:
I will address the question on GPs. The independent contractor model works very well in general practice and can really deliver for patients.
At the moment, however, the self-employed contractor model is very expensive for younger GPs to get into. It is not correct to say that GPs are not currently employed. GPs all over the country are employing other GPs, they just get no support to do so.
