General Practitioner Contract: Statements

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

That is a good question and I cannot answer it for sure. The NAGP, in its statement the other day, said that it had monthly meetings with the HSE and the Department of Health. The Department of Health says otherwise - that there were not meetings in 2018 or 2019, so we will have to get to the bottom of that obviously, but none of the meetings would have involved me. Again, the commitment was there in the Government memo in 2018, and in the commitments of the then Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to the joint Oireachtas committee that we would keep the NAGP informed and involved.
