Practices across the midlands have had to advertise positions on numerous occasions.
Sinn Fein says a lack of housing and school places are resulting in prolonged GP vacancies in the Midlands.
New data from the HSE shows a practice in Coole in Westmeath had to advertise three times over a two year period to secure a new doctor.
The same issue affected an office in Longford Town with a new doctor starting next month after the post was advertised on three separate occasions in the last 12 months.
Longford Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke says it's clear why communities can't get access to medical services:
