Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Recruitment, Retention and Manpower Planning Issues: Irish College of General Practitioners
Dr. John Farrell:
Yes. Anyone who is sick will be seen. That happens. People go to emergency departments and find that the waiting times are longer than they expect. Wait times there are not on target. I would not say that the same thing would necessarily happen with general practice. People who are sick and parents who are worried about their sick children will still be seen promptly, but it means there will be a deferral of more routine care.
