Has there been any increased financial support for GPs or medical centres in regard to addressing the issue? For example, County Mayo has more than 4,000 additional Ukrainians and international protection applicants but we still have not had an increase in the GP count. All of these people have medical cards but nobody is talking about the issue of fair distribution of these guests onto the general medical card scheme. It needs to be addressed.
