The administration of taxation is a matter for the Department of Finance and the Office of the Revenue Commissions. While the local HSE maintains a very positive relationship with GP Care For All, I have been advised that Department and HSE officials have had two meetings with GP Care For All management regarding the current challenges as well as numerous phone calls and written communications on the matter.

These discussions have focused on identifying solutions to the challenges faced by the organisation that are within the purview of the Department of Health and the HSE, which will allow GP Care For All to continue to deliver its services in a way which is sustainable and ensures compliance with all relevant legislation and regulations.

Engagement between the Department of Health, the HSE and GP Care For All is ongoing. It is a priority for the Department and the HSE to ensure that GP Care For All can continue to deliver the important services it provides. That is as much as has been provided in this particular report but my understanding is that a lot of interaction is going on at present.
