In relation to recoupment from GPs, I am quite satisfied that a robust system is in place to recoup overpayments from GPs or situations where they have been claiming in error, in some cases, for patients who are deceased or no longer eligible or no longer resident in the country. If it ever proves difficult for the HSE to recoup outstanding moneys from GPs what kind of sanctions does the HSE impose on that GP, if any?
