GENERAL PRACTITIONER SUPER CLINICS — FEDERAL LIBERAL PARTY ELECTION COMMITMENT
I have a supplementary question. The minister’s emergency departments are already failing to cope with demand. If the minister does not fund those general practitioner clinics as he is now suggesting, how will they cope? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

I have just very clearly made the point that the funding package from the commonwealth government to GPs and GP practices in Western Australia, which will keep patients from coming to our emergency departments, is a far better product under the Liberal Party’s policy than under the policy of the current Labor government.
