My question is to the Prime Minister. At Senate estimates yesterday the Department of Health confirmed that, because of the GP tax and the Prime Minister's decision to cut the bulk billing incentive, there will be around 680,000 fewer diagnostic imagine services in 2015-16 and almost one million fewer by 2017. Was the Prime Minister aware of these consequences when he made the decision to cut bulk billing and does he understand the consequences of his decision?
