I recognise what Dr. Crowley is saying and that there is no quick fix, but there cannot be no quick fix forever. It must be possible to solve the problem at some stage. If we do not put in place the mechanism to deal with it, the public will lose confidence, politicians will lose confidence and GPs will lose confidence, and we will then be in the situation where we are not capable of dealing with the magnitude of the problem that is unfolding.
