If you’re over 40yo, on average, you’ll need to see a GP 7x per year In 2019–2020, there were 43 million Medicare claims for unreferred GP attendances for people aged 65 and over. Let’s fund continuity and support Primary Care that supports us. @RDA_Tas @Mark_Butler_MP

“Let’s make our health system GREAT again” Networked, well resourced local hospitals, patients admitted & managed locally, with streamlined continuity, follow up with the same doctor who works across GP & hospital care. Cost saving Time saving Life saving @Mark_Butler_MP
