We have had some discussion on GPs already. It is reported that approximately 70% of GP lists have closed. Many GPs report being under great strain. Stress among GPs is a significant issue. Increasingly, it is difficult to recruit GPs to replace those who are retiring. It is all very well for the Minister to say he is rewinding FEMPI but he is doing so slowly. Deputies and most other public servants did not have to wait four or five years for FEMPI to be rewound.
