There are now “many GPs” too over-worked to take on new patients, the in-coming head of the Irish Medical Organisation has warned as he also called for new hospitals to be built.

Professor Matthew Sadlier called for “a major investment” programme in health infrastructure as well as other changes at the IMO annual conference in Killarney.
