For each of the 64 locations of the GP Super Clinics, (a) what sum has been spent on (i) funding for capital works, (ii) recurrent funding, and (iii) relocation incentives, and (b) what proportion (as a percentage) of the total amount of funding available has been paid to the funding recipients.

The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

Noting—Of the 64 GP Super Clinics, expenditure to date relates to the original 36 GP Super Clinics. The processes in place for the additional 28 GP Super Clinics were identified by the Minister in her media release of 28 October 2010. These processes are proceeding.

The following figures reflect recurrent funding and relocation incentives at an aggregated level only as there are commercial-in-confidence and privacy protection considerations in releasing these figures on an individual clinic level.

(a) and (b) As at the end of February 2011, a total of $127,316,804.55 (GST exclusive) GP Super Clinics grant funding had been provided (representing 70.1% of total funding available for the first tranche of 36 GP Super Clinics), including:

(i) a total of $126,689,204.55 in funding for capital works;

(ii) a total of $625,000 for recurrent funding; and

(iii) a total of $2,600 for relocation incentives.
