Officials from the Department of Health have been working with their counterparts in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the HSE to ensure that the planned engagement with general practitioner representatives is fully focused on the priorities of the Government’s health reform agenda and measures to better address the strategic challenges facing the service.

There is no confirmed date at this point in time for the commencement of the consultations. However, the process is expected to start in the coming weeks.
