The lack of GPs in North Galway is a serious issue, with residents unable to get doctor care in their local area.
This is according to Councillor Andrew Reddington, who told Galway Bay FM news that he had received numerous calls last week from concerned residents.
Councillor Reddington referred to a doctor in the Headford area who had recently retired and as a result, his patients were transferred to a new doctor.
A transfer process is in place to transfer patients to another practice but the number of transfers involved is taking some time leading to patients having to go elsewhere for GP services.

Speaking on Sunday’s lunchtime news, Councillor Reddington said that it was a serious issue that must be sorted out.
