    I currently have no GP. Have spent days ringing every surgery in the Sutton, Bayside, Raheny, Donaghmede, Baldoyle areas to no avail. No one is taking new patients on their books. My problem is I need to get a prescription and the chemist is insisting I get a new one. But what can I do?!?! Does anyone know of a doctors practise taking on new patients? I have checked websites and despite many saying they take new patients, when you ring the surgeries you are told no - not at the moment. Totally frustrated at this point and would welcome any advice/help.😕

    Who gave you your last prescription ?

    The majority of GP’s / surgeries in my area are not taking more patients. Mine hasn’t for about 3 or 4 years. Massive population growth has been the catalyst for that. They even took on an extra GP and converted the waiting room to a new surgery for him and did away with their staff break room and kitchen to provide a small waiting room, madness... still no more patients, my Dad was looking to get in but he’s been on the list for two years, a bit unhappy with his new doctor at his surgery.

    Could you try a walk in clinic? I've used the one on Talbot street and Grafton medical I think there's another on Suffolk street?
