My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. A short walk from the minister's electorate office is Harbour Medical Services, where a patient notice was issued on 1 July, stating:

… due to increasing costs of running the Practice, we must advise that the GAP FEE for Private Patients has increased.

…   …   …

Full payment of account on the day is REQUIRED.

Isn't it the case that Australians need both their Medicare card and their credit card to get the health care they need under Labor?
