Description
The Health Service Executive seeks to appoint suitably qualified employment agencies to source short-term locum General Practitioners (GPs) for General Medical Services (GMS) GPs working in rural Ireland. The purpose of this tender is to support access to locum cover for up to 250 GMS General Practitioners (GPs) in rural and remote areas, who are in receipt of the Rural Practice allowance. GPs in rural and remote areas must be able to access reliable locum cover to allow them take leave knowing that their patients will continue to receive high-quality care in their absence. This scheme, developed under the terms of the 2023 GP Agreement, addresses a critical need for rural GPs who often face significant challenges in securing cover for periods of planned leave. It is envisaged that most leave requests will be for 1 to 2 week leave periods. The maximum leave duration that will be requested is a block of 5 weeks in total. Under this scheme, eligible GPs in receipt of rural practice support will have access to a streamlined locum sourcing service. The service is currently provided by one employment agency under a non-compliant pilot programme set up by the National Contracts Office. T…
