In relation to the Dubbo Regional Aboriginal Medical Service, I wish to add that the Dubbo Regional Aboriginal Medical Service has been allocated $12.8 million over three years in IAHP primary healthcare funding, in accordance with the funding model, not including indexation, which will also be applied annually. This funding is further supplemented with the self-generated Medicare revenue that Dubbo Regional Aboriginal Medical Service can claim through its arrangement with Coonamble Aboriginal Health Services. Those elements were excluded from the references put forward by the opposition but were included in my advice to the opposition.
