These Regulations shall apply to payments in respect of services rendered by a general practitioner to or on behalf of the HSE for the clinical assessment and treatment of vulnerable patients including the prescription of Covid-19 antiviral medication. These Regulations are based on revised public health advice that Covid-19 testing will no longer be recommended for the general population. Testing will only occur based on a clinical assessment where a clinician requires the result to contribute to the diagnosis and management of an individual patient, or where deemed necessary by Public Health in relation to the management of an outbreak or specific public health risk. This revised public health advice was noted by the Government on the 27th of July
