In this question, I am raising the issue of primary care services, rather than primary care centres. It is clear that general practitioner services are under great pressure at present. I received a letter last week from more than 50 GPs who indicated that they are not able to operate or provide the service they would like to provide. Continual cuts have been made in the context of the financial emergency measures in the public interest regime. There is no clear strategy for bringing forward the primary care strategy. I believe we have an obligation to support GPs in the delivery of the primary care strategy.
