Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on recent changes made to the work permit regime by which a locum doctor can work 90 days in the State but must then leave the jurisdiction for 30 days before being permitted to apply for a new work permit after that; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that it takes up to 30 working days to process a new work permit application resulting in a situation in which a locum doctor ends up working much reduced days annually which puts pressure on general practitioner services generally; his plans to make changes to the work permit regime in view of these circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
