Would there be merit to them operating on a different contract as a roving, travelling GP to the Ukrainian community? In County Clare, there are 3,700 Ukrainians but very few of them have been able to get onto the local practice lists which are just full. There is probably some logic to having someone with their language and skill set travelling to different accommodation centres. This is not a scattered population. In most counties they are usually based in four or five different centres. Would there be merit in having somebody on a contract specifically to provide for the healthcare needs of that population?
