Mr. Bernard Gloster:

That relates to the second course of action to increase GP capacity. A number of doctors from South Africa are coming in groups of 25. We already have 25 with a further 25 coming in the autumn. They are qualified doctors. There is an agreement with the Irish Medical Council that by working here under supervision and in partnership with GPs they will after two years meet the registration requirement to become GPs.
