Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Primary Care Expansion: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Vanessa Hetherington:

I would like to see a phased development of general practice over a ten-year period as capacity allows. Five years is too ambitious. We need to reverse the cuts that happened over the past ten years and begin to build general practice for a proper 21st century service.
