SouthDoc Out of Hours GP service provides urgent general practice out of hours care in Cork and Kerry with a membership of over 500 GPs and a network of 26 treatment centres across both counties. The HSE have advised that following a review of service provision across Cork and Kerry in 2013 changes were made to service delivery in a number of areas, including Kinsale, with SouthDoc establishing the main centre for the area in Bandon. As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy with details on this matter.
