Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Sláintecare Reforms

Mr. Robert Watt:

We will come back with a detailed note on that. It involves, as the Deputy said, the GPs themselves and we are increasing the number of training places and, as I mentioned, the general practice nurses and other support staff to ensure the GPs work as efficiently as possible. We are very conscious that there is a massive expansion now in visit cards – over half a million – so that needs to be embedded so we can see for the future. How we can build capacity and new ways of working depends on how well that works.
