Co-op GP service set for Waterford

WATERFORD City and county will finally receive CAREDOC co-op services from April, ending a four-year wait for the scheme.

The co-op has received the €800,000 necessary for extending its cover into the remaining county in the SEHB region. The expansion is expected to increase the co-op’s membership to more than 270 GPs.

“We are pleased to say we got the €800,000 to expand into Waterford City and county and we are already working on it,” a visibly delighted Dr Sean McGuire told Medicine Weekly last week.
