I want to raise a point on GP practices and the role the entire team in GP practices played during the pandemic. The Irish College of General Practitioners came before the committee recently. One of the issues it raised was that it had concerns about the level of support for GP practices and funding for support staff in practices. It also raised the issue of the number of GPs who will be retiring in the next five to ten years. It made a proposal for the establishment of a high-level working group with the Department of Health, the HSE, the Irish College of General Practitioners, the Irish Medical Organisation and patient representative groups. What is the view of Dr. Holohan on the establishment of this group?
