The president and the national council of the National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP) have resigned from the organisation over what they described as serious governance issues. The organisation, which previously said it represented up to 2,000 GPs, is operated as a company with directors and an advisory national council and president. The president of the NAGP, Dr Maitiu O’Tuathail, said he had resigned from the organisation as he had “grave concerns” with regards to its governance. “Following this, the national council commissioned a governance report from Ampersand, which recommended a new governance structure for the organisation, and we had begun that journey. At its annual meeting last year its then president said a number of “valued members” had quit due to concerns over internal governance issues.
