All Members will agree having an adequate number of GPs is crucial in treating more people in a primary care and community system rather than an acute hospital one. The Minister stated in her reply the current graduate supply is 120 GPs per year and hoped to increase that figure by "streamlining existing programmes in a cost effective manner". Will the Minister decode this HSE-speak? Does it mean training more GPs for the same amount of money?
