General Practitioner Contract: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-03
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I wanted the president of the NAGP to see, on a confidential basis, or a secret basis if the Deputy wants to use that term, that this was a good agreement, that there was nothing in it that had not been substantially announced publicly and that there was no reason for that organisation to oppose or agitate against it as it had in 2015. I wanted to do that confidentially, which is why I used the informal communication channel that we had. I accept that was not the right way to do it.
