Mr. Fintan Foy:
We need to correct that fact. I am being fed some information here. Of those who completed our most recent graduate survey, only less than 6% of GPs emigrated. There was a much higher number probably post 2011 up to 2017 but since then, the number has been falling. Covid-19 may have impacted on that as well but based on our recent data, the number of people emigrating is less than 6%.
