'GPs should be front of healthcare solution' says NAGP

The National Association of General Practitioners AGM is getting underway where the problem with overcrowding will top the agenda.

It comes as a number of hospitals had to postpone non-urgent procedures recently as the numbers waiting on trolleys soared.

Dr Emmet Kerin from the NAGP has said that the lack of Government investment in surgeries here is a major problem.

He has said GPs should be front of a healthcare solution; “We are continuing to really suffer from the lack of investment and resourcing in general practice.

“Best practice certainly pints to GP led primary care services as a solution and what we are really looking for at this AGM is a move in the conversation to put general practice at the front of a health care solution.”
