Assessment hubs will allow GPs deal with other health issues

CGP vice president Dr Nuala O’Connor: “As the numbers of cases grow, the assessment hub will be a place where we will be able to assess patients with Covid-19."

The HSE’s new Covid-19 assessment hubs will help GPs deal with people’s “normal” health issues, according to the Irish College of General Practitioners.

The ICGP’s vice president Dr Nuala O’Connor said she hopes this will encourage more people to come forward with non-Covid-19 health issues.
