Doctors in Short Supply | Cork News
Description
Over 5,700 people can’t find a family doctor—proof the system is buckling under demand. With population growth outpacing GP additions by more than 2x, counties like Louth and Roscommon saw zero new GPs in five years. Meanwhile, twice as many doctors chose private contracts, shrinking public access. The result? Patients lose continuity of care, struggling to get basic check-ups or manage chronic conditions as the infrastructure collapses beneath them.
