It’s like a ticking time bomb, like a lot of things in this country
The gov should have listened to GPs when they pleaded with them not to force them to expand services.
“Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said that in places where there are not enough GPs, the Government will work to make sure the number of healthcare workers are placed where they are needed most”.
Lol
Shocking as this is, it’s not really *that* surprising. There’s semi-regular posts on here from people looking for a GP that will take on new patients. I’ve seen it in r/Cork a good bit, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to imagine a few of the other local subs see similar. And it seems to be even worse for people on medical cards.
It’d be interesting to see a similar report for other services people need access to as well. We moved a few years ago, and I decided I should go to the dentist for the first time in a few years. Rang 4 places near the new house; 1 had switched to only orthodontics, the other 3 weren’t taking new patients. Ended up going back to the old dentist on the other side of the city.
Country at risk as government no care
At risk? I already have to go to the next county for GP care
My cousin is a GP. Last year he went down to 2 days a week because he was working too long hours and needed a break. He retired earlier this year at the age of 54 because he was getting sued for the second time in a year. Once by a trans gender person he has been treating for about 15 years even before their transformation because the bloods form came back with male ticked for the gender. He had ticked it when he sent it off because the gender of the blood was important for the test.
I don’t know what the previous suit was for but it was thrown out as he believes this one will be. But the same person is still coming to him as their GP and he has just had enough and decided to retire.
I know two dentists and they have done course on Botox and will be only doing Botox and not teeth as their main practice from now on.
Vets need to up-skill !
/s (seriously /S, just in case some government minister sees this and thinks hmmmmmmmmmm)
We train 1200 each year. Where they all going?

Been going to a different county for years due to lack of one in n my own county. Had to beg our local GP to accept my newborn at the time, only accepted him after we received 3 rejections from different GPs. Utter joke.
From the article :
>It noted that inadequate succession planning for retirement may be a risk to the stable supply of GP services in some areas, with single GP practices making up half of the risk group.
>It said these capacity constraints can be addressed by 2030, through an increase in GPs numbers that is already under way.
>By 2030, almost 4,000 graduates and international recruits are expected to enter the system, when over 1,000 GPs are expected to retire or resign, the paper says.
So the ‘risk’ is ‘if everything currently being done mysteriously stops being done’.
