The ICGP is seeking to amend the pay agreements for GP co-leads in order to address the disparity in pay arrangements between GPs and consultants on clinical care programmes, IMN has learned.

There is a difference of opinion within the Government over what approach should be taken in the establishment of the seven directorates that will eventually replace the current structure of the HSE, IMN has been informed.

The HSE is to write to GPs who owe money to the HSE through the Indicative Drugs Target Savings Scheme (IDTSS) in the near future, IMN has learned.

The IMO and Primary Care Reimbursement Service (PCRS) are engaged in a last-ditch attempt to resolve the long-running out-of-hours GP pay dispute.
