The annual year one cost of a doctor on the GP Training Scheme is approximately €100,000. With 258 places planned for the July 2022-23 training year, an increase to 310 places would create an additional 52 places.

Based on these figures, the cost of increasing the trainee intake to 310 places for 2022-23 would be approximately €5.2 million.
