My question referred not just to GPs but also to the make-up of a primary care team. I am not asking Dr. O'Shea to necessarily put a figure on it but just to point us in the direction where we might get some idea of ratios. When the issue of primary care teams and staff is discussed, the answer we often get is that while everybody wants a fully staffed primary care team, what does that look like? We want to know what it looks like in terms of occupational therapists and psychiatric liaison nurses.

What would make up a fully-staffed primary care team? We are at 57 GPs per 100,000. Is there a figure for other health care professionals?
