David Cullinane: Is that a directly-hired GP or is it an independent practice GP that will operate from the hospital?

Mr. Bernard Gloster: We would do it through the GP co-op, which would deploy a doctor for us. Based on the model the regional executive officer is proposing, we should see that making a difference. We know that a substantial number of people, amounting to over 50% of those who present to the emergency department in Limerick, do so without a GP referral. That is not to say they do not...

...people or pregnant women. Our focus is on the undervaccinated and on those under-served populations. We are bringing the vaccine out as well as providing additional cover through the traditional GP service model for those up to the age of 18. What is the right number to vaccinate? We want to catch anybody who is not vaccinated and who is at risk. Those clinics and the way they will be...

To follow on from Dr. Henry's comments about model 2 hospitals, my plan is, hopefully, to be able to confirm very shortly the...

Martin Conway: ...performed much better. We know that infrastructure and capacity are issues in Limerick, but the number of consultants is also an issue. The situation is very frustrating. It is to be hoped a GP will be in place to carry out triage in the next couple of weeks. Will that operate on a 24-hour basis?

...and working, I hope to make available the resources to make it a 24-hour service. There may be pressure in terms of staffing it on a 24-7 basis. We will do the best we can with the local GP community and Shannondoc. It will not be for the want of money that it will not be in place.

Mr. Bernard Gloster: The real benefit people will see with a GP at the front door will be in the measures around that GP and the hospital, in particular the extension of the acute medical assessment unit to 24 hours. That, tied to the Shannondoc system, could make a fundamental difference.

Seán Crowe: ...and feet seen. People are saying there is a big challenge there. Will the HSE outline what it is doing in that area? People are also saying there are challenges in getting access to a dentist or GP, particularly for those on a medical card. Is there a list for people who cannot get access to a dentist or doctor in a particular area? Is that available through HSE services? The...
