Dr. Colm Henry:

There is a marked variation in the provision of GPs in different CHOs. Nationally, we are at 6.92 per 10,000. Scotland, by comparison, has over nine per 10,000. That is the kind of model to which we aspire. In addition to more people coming onto the training scheme, those non-EU trained doctors from South Africa are being directed towards those CHOs with a lower ratio of GPs per population to try to support those areas until we get these trainees through the system.
