Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It is, and we want to get more people in to address that.

On the question about GPs' income, to be fair to the balance side of that, we recently with the Department concluded the latest agreement with the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, on the change to eligibility for six- and seven-year-olds and also certain families on the median income.

My understanding is that GPs, by and large, are happy with the arrangements made in that deal in terms of managing their income. There are now additional supports for specific line items like contraception and so on. There is quite a lot of investment in practice. However, there is a lot more to do if we are to have the health service we aspire to in the future.
