The GP training allowance is payable at a rate of €11,430. It is paid to GPs and registrars in an approved scheme in lieu of 120 hours worked outside normal working hours.
Considering our GPs go on to establish what one would hope to be profitable practices, is this ever paid back by GPs? Will Mr. O'Brien explain the rationale and why the HSE is subsidising GP training?
