In the primary care section of A Programme for a Partnership Government there is a commitment to enter into contract negotiations with general practitioners. General practice is under serious threat because of the workload involved and manpower issues coming down the line. While there is a commitment to the urgent negotiation of a new flexible contract, there seems to be complacency about it. There was a promise before the summer that the contract would be ready to start in September and then in October, but we are at the end of November and nothing has happened. Will the Taoiseach comment?
