Two HSE Campaigns To Recruit East Cork GP Have Failed

The GP vacancy in Youghal  has received no candidates creating concern for many people.

Two HSE campaigns to recruit a new GP for East Cork practice have failed.

The GP vacancy in Youghal  has received no candidates creating concern for many people who are now advised to look for a new doctor elsewhere..

This move may cause some families who wish to attend the same doctor to split up.

The total number of medical card holders  in Youghal is over 5600 and if the positition remains unfilled, the HSE says these patients will be divided among six other GPs in the area.
