South Kildare is among the worst hit areas in the country.
Parts of Kildare are now among the worst areas in the country for access to a GP, according to new population-to-doctor figures.
South Kildare and west Wicklow have nearly 3,200 patients for every GP, while north-west Kildare is close to 3,000 to one.
East Kildare and the Blessington area also remain under pressure, with more than 2,380 patients per GP.
The figures place Kildare alongside east Meath and parts of west Dublin as some of the most overstretched regions in the country for GP coverage based on population to GP ratios.
The figures are based on population figures from the 2022 census and matches them against GP numbers recorded across health networks in 2024.
The information was supplied to Labour’s health spokesperson, Marie Sherlock, in response to parliamentary questions.
