I do thank the member for Lindsay for her question. Let me say not only that the Howard government is the best friend that Medicare has ever had but that the Howard government is the best friend that Australian nurses have ever had. Nurse numbers are up 11 per cent since 1999; there are 3,000 more nurse training places since 2005. There are now 5,000 nurses in general practice.
