Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Dr. John Farrell:

Absolutely. That is the crux of the issue, that is, that there is not enough capacity in the system at the moment. We really appreciate the invitation to come here today. Our call to the committee - I thank Deputy Cathal Crowe for saying this - is that we would have its support in order that the strategic review can take place over a short timeframe and that it will produce solutions to this problem. That will go some way towards addressing the problems not just in primary care but throughout the whole healthcare system.
