My question is to the Minister for Health. I refer to the 97 GP vacancies currently in regional Western Australia—rising from 62 vacancies in August last year. Further, I refer to the fact that 83 of these current vacancies are classified as being in the area of high need. What is the government doing to address the dire GP shortage in regional Western Australia?
