Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the Royal Australian College of Physicians who say that over the half their college specialist training program positions 'rotate through rural and remote areas and almost a quarter through Indigenous communities'. These benefits would be jeopardised should funding not continue and contracts not signed in the near future. When will the minister provide certainty to trainees and their training providers?
