I welcome the amendment. I thank all the GP practices throughout the country that contacted us. I look forward to the strategic review of general practice. I accept the Minister's acknowledgement that there are outstanding issues that remain to be dealt with. There is a huge shortage of GPs, particularly in rural Ireland, and we cannot afford for mistakes like this to be left standing or issues to be left outstanding. This issue is a priority for all areas and particularly for rural areas.
