1186. To ask the Minister for Health if it is a contractual obligation for a GMS GP contract holder to be a registered medical practitioner; if the employment of a locum by a registered medical practitioner would obviate such an obligation; if it is possible for a locum to be a GMS GP contract holder; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is a contractual obligation for a GMS GP contract holder to be a registered medical practitioner. The employment of a locum by a registered medical practitioner does not obviate such an obligation. A locum, who is a registered medical practitioner as set out in Section 1 of the Health (Provision of General Practitioner Services) Act 2012, may apply to the HSE for a GMS contract.
