The former president of the National Association of General Practitioners Dr Maitiu O Tuathail has said that it “was wrong” that his organisation did not have access to a draft GP contract agreed by the Government in April 2019.

Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail, a south Dublin GP who served as president of the NAGP between 2018 and its demise in 2019, said that his receiving a copy of the contract from Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was “a continuation of the decision by the Government to consult with the NAGP and its GP members and keep them informed throughout”.
