GP body claims salary reveal is data breach

The National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP) has warned the HSE that it intends to complain to the Data Protection Commission (DPC) after it released details of the doctors who earn most under its Primary Care Reimbursement Service (PCRS).

The highest earning doctor is the association’s chairman, Andrew Jordan, Dublin South West, who received in excess of €1.1m gross last year, which includes practice support. Jordan employs 26 staff and treats 10,000 GMS (General Medical Services) patients.
