My Department are aware of the proposed programme concerned. The strategic review of GP services, which is to commence shortly, will examine the broad range of issues affecting general practice in general and in rural areas specifically, and will identify measures necessary to deliver a sustainable general practice. This programme and other initiatives that could support rural general practice will be considered.
