We have a crisis in general practice. We have had reports in recent days of GPs and trainees seeking to emigrate. They are seeking to leave this State because they do not feel they will have opportunities here. The Minister will be aware that while I support the extension of free GP care, some concerns have been expressed by representative bodies about the capacity. We know out-of-hours GP services are not what they should be. What is the Minister's plan for general practice in the coming months and the coming years to build up that capacity?
