loads of people suffering from depression in rural areas and there first place to go to is rural GPs , I don't think the government is taking the suicide epidemic in this country seriously enough if they are not supporting the health service

Our GP service is vital in local towns and villages across Ireland its our first port of call and eases up Emergency Departments. Look after our existing doctors. And keep newly qualified ones in our Country. Make it worthwhile for them to stay.

I fully support this endeavour. I am watching friends, loved ones and colleagues being undervalued in their role as GPs. The government must take action and soon.

GP services are vital to every community in Ireland, the government must do more to support existing practices and help expand this vital service throughout the country.

I petition the Government, Minister for Health Simon Harris and the Department of Health and HSE to finally value GPs in Ireland .

Waiting times at GP's is too long because they are extremely busy it's not fair on the very sick especially kids and elderly

As a new entrant hospital consultant I feel the way GPs are treated is disgraceful. While I find myself questioning my own choices on a daily basis - I just can’t figure out how those in power think general practice can actually survive nationally under current conditions

I know only too well the pressure that’s on GP’s . We are so lucky to have the cohort of GP’s in Gort , Co.Galway . Keep up the good work and we are behind you.

Time to change things. Treat our doctors with respect and stop all young doctors emigrating

The whole medical training programme in Ireland should be overhauled. MUCH more doctors are needed and they are not appreciated one bit by the HAE
