Clare Doctor Confident IMO Proposal Will Tackle Local GP Crisis

Clare FM

A new policy proposal put forward by Irish doctors is aiming to significantly improve Clare's healthcare offering. It comes as the Irish Medical Organisation has launched its pre-budget submission which is calling on the Government to provide an additional 5,000 inpatient beds and to fully digitise the health service by 2030. Clare currently has the joint fifth-lowest total of General Practitioners nationwide and the IMO is also seeking grants and tax incentives for new GPs to develop their practices. Lahinch based doctor and IMO GP Committee member Dr Michael Kelleher insists they're critical interventions that will make a major difference.
