Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I am concluding with this point. The shortage of GPs restricts the time a GP has to engage with a patient and the opportunity he or she has for health promotion. While acknowledging some steps have been taken as the Minister's reply indicated, what further steps are proposed? Will the Minister agree it is alarming the HSE has had to recruit GPs outside of Ireland to meet the current shortfall?
