‹ Questions on Promised Legislation GP tutor appointments
Summary
Deputy Harty sought a commitment on appointing additional GP tutors and funding the network. The Taoiseach could not promise a date but said he would raise the matter with the Minister and ask for a direct reply.
On page 55 in A Programme for a Partnership Government, there is a commitment to providing additional medical education tutors to the nationwide network of GP tutors. This network provides an opportunity for GPs to engage in continuing professional development and medical education. As the Taoiseach knows, medicine is changing all the time and it is important that GPs keep up to date. Will the Taoiseach give me a commitment on when these tutors will be appointed and the funding will be provided?
