There is a very serious issue relating to 1,300 medical card patients in the Finglas medical centre in Finglas village who have been left high and dry because their GP has given up his GMS contract. They are now being forced to go long distances to a new GP who has taken up this contract. Many of these patients are elderly people or people with disabilities and there is not even a bus service to bring them there.
