I will answer. I think it would be ruled out of order by the Chair, but I have no problem answering the question at all.
My understanding is that it was not available and hence I was looking for it. It was a critical contract because it was moving away from what is still the existing GP contract. It was essentially adding to the existing GP contract but in an important way - in ways that were identified by Sláintecare. One of the most critical was to have GPs lead the chronic disease management within the community. Essentially as it was explained to me, they were adding chunks the GPs could opt into. I do not believe the exact details were available and hence I raised it-----
