GP Now told: File returns or be dissolved

A controversial GP service, where patients pay a membership fee upfront, has been warned to file annual returns by the end of the month or face being dissolved.

GP Now told: File returns or be dissolved

GP Now, whose Cork clinic went into liquidation in 2014 owing €155,000, has never filed annual returns in relation to its Templeogue operation, incorporated in 2013. A strike-off notice was published by the Companies Registration Office on January 13 in relation to GP Now Templeogue Ltd. Failure to file within one month of that date will lead to it being dissolved unless the CRO receives a request in writing not to do so from an agency such as Revenue, a CRO spokesperson said.

The Templeogue clinic itself closed in November, with patients complaining there was no prior warning. When the Irish Examiner contacted its membership office yesterday, we were told there was uncertainty as to whether it would reopen. When we asked how to reclaim fees paid upfront for a service that does not currently exist, the only option offered was to instead attend the GP Now clinic in Sandyford.
