Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am afraid I do not have any specific information for the Deputy but I will ask the Minister, Deputy Harris, to give her more information. I know, from my previous background as a GP and as Minister for Health, that those doctor-on-call services are contracted to companies, owned and run by GPs in the main. They will tend to decide what is the best way to configure the service. They will often decide it is better to have people in mobile rather than stationary centres. However, I do not know enough to give the Deputy a full answer. I will certainly ask the Minister, Deputy Harris, to provide that.
