In December 2008, my Department requested the HSE to have all GMS contracted General Practitioners advised of the new single capitation fee and all relevant staff of the new arrangements following the enactment of the Health Act 2008. Consequently, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
