I raise the issue of access for private patients to GP care. A number of constituents have contacted me in recent weeks because they cannot get access to a GP. We welcome the many Ukrainians who have come to our county. We are building a village in Thurles with 60-plus modular units. We are providing other buildings for refugees from Ukraine. It is essential we have the services, both medical and educational, to ensure everyone has access to the services they need. The lack of GP services for private patients is becoming a big issue in my county.
