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

The $280.2 M allocated to the GP Super Clinic Program assumed an amount for Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS), Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) flow ons. Therefore of the total, $181.7 M was specified for grant funding. Of this, approximately $127 M has been paid to funding recipients to date against milestones outlined in the relevant Funding Agreements.
