I want to focus on the specific steps and actions the HSE is taking regarding rural GP services. We are having a major issue in my area where a single GP practice has been subsumed into a larger practice without any forward planning or workforce planning. I am trying to gauge and understand what the policy position is or what steps the HSE is taking to avoid this. There is fear, anxiety and major concerns in the community in which a void has been left and there is no GP in place. I ask Mr. Gloster to comments.
