Text
The Minister will be aware that GPs in rural areas, such as South Down, where there is no emergency department, are very often the lifeline for their community. Does he plan on giving the like of those surgeries any extra support to deal with the workforce shortages that they are dealing with now so that they can provide a full service to their large rural communities?
