They cannot prescribe or anything like that but their role has been increasing and that needs to be recognised.

We will also introduce an income tax deduction for remote workers. We are extending free GP care for six- and seven-year-olds.

Seán Fleming: We need a breakdown of that between the drugs, the pharmacists, the GP capitation, dentists and so forth. That is a significant figure and there is something in there about a rebate for pharmaceuticals. Will the Department send us a note on that?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)

Seán Fleming: ...an individual who has a concern that nurses at KDoc, Kildare and west Wicklow, are being paid in excess of agreed pay scales. I do not think that KDoc falls under the remit of the committee. These GP practice groups do not fall under our remit.

Seán Fleming: Will there be a separate section in the form for the GP to fill in that the applicant will not see? Does Ms Vaughan know what I am getting at? Sometimes, applicants under the current system do not know what their GPs write down, and the minute they see that part after their applications have been rejected they realise that they could not possibly have passed.

Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

Seán Fleming: ...the hour will only start after I have finished my bit, in fairness to the other members. That flow chart, which is now up on the screen, does not answer the question. It starts talking about the GP surgery and the whole way along, the forms going out and coming back. All we want to know is when the laboratories that were contracted by the HSE to work for CervicalCheck sent results back...

Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

Seán Fleming: That is exactly my point. For those who cannot see the chart, it details that women participating in cervical screening go to the general practitioner, GP, clinics and the laboratory has a collection system involving a pre-addressed envelope being sent to the laboratory for processing.
