Healthcare Crisis: GPs to protest outside Dáil as unrest escalates

The impact on tens of thousands of patients of escalating unrest in the health service continues today with members of the public asked not to use out of hours GP services as hundreds of family doctors gather in Dublin for a protest.

Instead, patients are being asked by the National Association of GP Co-ops to travel to emergency departments in the case of emergency, or to wait to see their own GP tomorrow.
