Top-earning GP received €1.1m from medical cards

The top-earning family doctor in the country, Andrew Jordan, received more than €1.1m from the State for the treatment of medical card patients last year.

Dr Jordan, who has two practices in Dublin and has topped the list on a number of occasions, is also chairman of the National Association of General Practitioners. The association reacted angrily to the publication of the HSE payments last night, saying they are “grossly misleading” and “did not represent the take-home pay of GPs”.
