Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Issues Relating to General Practice: Discussion

Dr. Tadhg Crowley:

I will go back to the first point I made about this. They are important but they are only buildings. We are in a primary care centre, but our ancillary staff are employed by the HSE. The HSE staff work from the building. They have their waiting lists. It is great to meet someone across the corridor and there are advantages, but they are still people experiencing pressures. It does not sort everything out. It is a great location to work from. It is handy for patients that they come to the same centre the whole time, but ultimately it is about people and our problem at the moment in the health service is a lack of people.
