Dr Martin Daly of the Irish Medical Organisation last week told the Oireachtas Select Committee on Health that the HSE is trying to save money by giving lists of medical card patients to GPs who already have large numbers on their books.
He claimed that a list of several hundred patients was recently advertised in a town with no female GP for medical card holders. Dr Daly added that although two female GPs had applied for the list, it was given to a male doctor who already had 1,200 card holders on his books.
