My question is to Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. New Medicare bulk-billing data out this week shows there were an additional six million bulk-billed GP visits between November 2023 and December 2024, making it an average of 100,000 additional visits each week. How has the Albanese Labor government achieved these bulk-billing rates, and how is the government working to further strengthen Medicare?
