On the 21st June 2011 a letter was issued by Patrick Burke of the Primary Care Reimbursement Service to all GP's in relation to the Provision of Phlebotomy Services. The IMO view on this letter is that routine Phlebotomy Services are not part of the GMS Contract. If you are approached by the HSE in relation to this issue  or if you have any queries on this matter please contact the IMO here.

Please see attached letter which was sent to the Primary Care Reimbursement Services which clearly states the IMO position on this issue.
