My question is to Senator Ellison, the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing. Bendigo is an important regional city of almost 100,000 people, but it has a chronic shortage of GPs. Bendigo only has one GP for every 1,800 people. Minister, what is the government going to do to address the major shortage of GPs so that the families of Bendigo can have good access to medical care?
