Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Recruitment, Retention and Manpower Planning Issues: Irish College of General Practitioners

Dr. Diarmuid Quinlan:

That is a very good suggestion. We know that graduate-entry medical students are much more likely to specialise in general practice. In our document we call for innovative financial solutions. That is a very innovative financial solution whereby a graduate-entry medical student with a substantial student loan who goes to work in a rural area could offset their loans against tax. That would make it very attractive for people.
