The health center is staying open because we refused to accept their plan. Keep a close eye on the local office to ensure they follow through on this commitment.

This community deserves a GP and a GP who would like to work in this community needs to have a viable business. Wake up Government before you have fully destroyed the fabric of rural Ireland. One size does not fit all.

It is vital to keep this health centre open and a GP in our village. With most GP practices in neighbouring towns already over subscribed it will be very difficult for so many people to find a new GP.

It's been my honor to be Employed in this health centre since 2002 it would be a shame to loose such a wonderful and valued service in this community. I urge you all to get behind this. Let us not become another statistic in rural decline.

We are extremely concerned that we are without a doctor who is familiar with are health problems. We are in our late 70's and worry that we will have to travel greater distances to find help.

We need a doctor in Bansha, how are 500 medical card holders to get any attention in the surrounding towns, where doctors give you five minutes in the surgery.

I'm a rural gp in Frenchpark Co.Roscommon +I feel v passionate about saving Rural GP. The number of GP vacancies in Rural areas is increasing- it's great to see Yer community shouting to the Government to save yers- we are also trying to raise awareness- well done on a great campaign- it's v encouraging for GPs to see that kind of response

FG-LAB stop the destruction of rural GP. You don't have a mandate for it.
