Does the HSE tell them they can or can't accept you or is it up to them?You can choose any doctor you like, but they have to accept you.
You can object to being placed on this panel. You are absolutely entitled to choose your own doctor.
I have had a similar experience, my husband had a few instances of neglect and errors by his GP. He challenged our new readings which we got independently, but did eventually admit to making a mistake and apologised. Subsequently he did not address the relevant issues. I had words with him and requested a change for me to another partner. He said I could not change, it is a 6 person practice. If I left his care I would have to leave the practice. I took the easy option and found a new GP.I need to change my GP in the very near future and the practice I am wishing to join say they have reached their quota so dont want to take me on. I lookd on their website and it said that in cases where a doctor patient relationship has broken down a change may be facilitated. The situation is not quite that bad but things have happened and I no longer want anything to do with the practice.
What I want to know is that can this doctor decide weather or not they will take me or does the ultimate decision rest with the HSE? I attended this practice up to a few years ago and other family members still do,as private patients, and have done for nearly 25 years so they know us quite well.

I don’t believe so, it’s your husbands choice. But me personally afte4 an experience like that I think I would move elsewhere but it is your choice.I have had a similar experience, my husband had a few instances of neglect and errors by his GP.

Now due to other errors and refusing to accept the instructions of my husbands Cardiac specialist. My husband no longer trusts this GP. And has requested a change to another partner in the practice. The GP has again said he cannot stay in the practice.
Does he have a right to do this? My husband is an elderly man and it would be easier for him to stay in this practice.
Any advice appreciated?
