Dr. Pádraig McGarry:

It is an issue of one having to be in a particular area for two hours. Two hours in a GP's day is an enormous amount of time. We are snowed under with work. To give a two-hour time allocation for what may turn out to be two patients is an enormous time resource which we can ill afford. If we can deal with the issues on a much more efficient, one-to-one basis, which is how it has been done in the past, it should be looked at more and should continue. I have no issue with dealing with primary care teams in that respect.
