I understand the tensions that having two systems would create but doctors who are training would not need to concentrate on business and all the difficulties that arise in that regard. They would be able to get holidays and we would like to think there would be supports for them. It would be part of a solution.

What model would Mr. Moran like to see for GP services? Quite a few were mentioned, including different networks such as SouthDoc, TLC-Doc in my area, Caredoc, Shannondoc and so on. They all seem to work with different structures. Would GPs like to see the system restructured State-wide or along existing lines with greater uniformity? Does the current system based on different approaches in different areas require greater clarity and uniformity of structure or are they happy with how it is developing?

On foreign doctors, it was mentioned that we are somewhat reliant on doctors from South Africa. Doctors from South Africa were unable to travel during the pandemic. There are different models in different areas. What is Mr. Moran's view of the structure?
