A serious matter has arisen regarding the National Association of General Practitioners, which has stated that 32 general practitioner positions in rural practices have been left unfilled. The most recent manifestation of this has been in Bansha, County Tipperary, a place the Tánaiste knows very well. The Health Service Executive has refused to advertise a general practitioner position for a GP in the town who is sick. I wish her well in her illness. The position in the health service is serious.

To which Bill is the Deputy referring?

I am referring to the general practitioners Bill. A wide area surrounding Bansha, County Tipperary, will be left without a general practitioner if the Government does not listen.

I am informed there is no general practitioners Bill.

It is on the Order Paper.

Not according to the information provided to me.

To which Bill is the Deputy referring?

The general practitioners services Bill. I do not know if it features in the promised legislation document but it is included in the document I read five minutes ago.

It must be a fantasy.

It is in the document. More important, people in Bansha need a medical service because they do not have one.

There are other ways to raise the issue.

Deputy McGrath is well aware of the implementation of the decision in respect of those aged under six years and over 70 years, which deals with general practitioners.

I am not talking about that. I am talking about the medical services Bill.

I answered the Deputy and Deputy Martin earlier about discussions with the Minister for Health.

That is not an answer.

I ask Deputy McGrath to resume his seat.

People deserve treatment.

Resume your seat, Deputy.

I am sure the people of Bansha are happy to see that the under sixes and over 70s have already been dealt with.

They are not interested in under sixes. That is only a joke. They need a GP.

I will not tell the Deputy again. Resume your seat and respect the Chair.

Let him join Deputy Peter Mathews.

Deputy Mattie McGrath thinks there is no one here only himself asking questions.

We have three minutes left and six people want to come in.

I never got an answer on the Bill.

You are totally out of order, Deputy McGrath.

It is in the book.

What book? Do not-----

Bye bye, Mattie.

That is very accurate, a Cheann Comhairle. "What book?" sums it up.
