1811. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Health when he expects to receive the report on the Strategic Review of General Practice, and when he envisions implementing recommendations from the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35128/24]

The Department of Health and the HSE commenced the Strategic Review of General Practice last year and the review is currently underway. With input from key stakeholders, the review is examining a range of issues affecting general practice including GP training, GP capacity, Out of Hours services reform, the eHealth Agenda, and the financial support model for general practice. The Review will then identify the arrangements necessary to improve the current system of GP care as part of a primary care-focused health service.

The review is to be completed this year. Following its completion, a report is to be presented to me outlining the findings of the review and setting out recommended actions for a more sustainable general practice.
