My question relates to new guidance given on the General Medical Services, GMS, scheme regarding the tax treatment of GPs' income. This will have a detrimental effect on GP practices, especially community practices. I put a question to the Minister for Health, who said his Department and the HSE had been in contact with Revenue on the issue but offered little other information. A GP considered that reply to be very unhelpful. This is a move that massively complicates the administration of general practice. Will the Government reverse the decision to change guidance under the GMS? If so, how? I have heard it rumoured that the Minister will bring an amendment to the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023 but I have searched for the amendment and cannot find it.
