Marie Sherlock (LAB), Dublin Central

I do not doubt the goodwill there is regarding ensuring GP services, particularly to the 2,600 people on the list in GP Care For All, continue but the reality is that the HSE funding is only for the 2024 liabilities, nothing is in place for 2025 liabilities and I am not hearing any solution. We have a private system of GP care in this country with the result that we have significant gaps across this country in some of the most socially deprived areas and this Government is not coming forward with any solution as to how we put in place GP care in those communities. The medical charity model was a solution to the problem but now, it is being upended and facing closure because of those changes in the Finance Act. I am asking the Minister to make sure that this medical charity can survive and that other ones can be set up across the country.
