Payments to General Practitioners (GPs) under the General Medical Services (GMS) Scheme are made by the Primary Care Reimbursement Service (PCRS) section of the Health Service Executive (HSE). This includes payments in respect of the Rural Practice Allowance. My Department has, therefore, requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
