My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Nash. Given the minister's failure to answer my question in this chamber last week, I ask again: can the minister confirm that when patients go on the anticlotting medication Warfarin they usually require a large number of visits to determine whether their blood is too thin or thin enough for this treatment? Is it not true that with the $7 GP tax this could add up to hundreds of dollars for this life-saving treatment?
