Kildare is among the six counties unable to take on new patients
Population growth is putting severe pressure on GPs across the country.
61 per cent of GPs questioned by the Irish Independent admitted they weren't taking on any new patients due to the increased demands.
There were six areas where no practice was in the position to take on new patients - counties Kildare, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford and Cork (excluding the city).
