This will stuff up GP Nurse team care. The doctor now has to be present for 6 minutes rather than assessing a complex issue and directing a treatment plan which would have fulfilled the precious rules. Medicare is not for purpose

November #medicare changes. Make no mistake, a 6 minute minimum for a standard consult IS a cut to #medicare. The occasional shorter 'standard' consult (in between the longer 'standard' ones) that keeps bulk-billing clinics afloat. This is a $22 rebate cut. Mark Butler MP

6 min item23 cuts nursing remuneration significantly. Mark Butler MP this is another destruction of funding of GP team based care. Don’t you ever ask GPs the unintended consequences of you Govt cuts? We don’t trust Medicare any more.

We all know the stats of the complexity of GP work Especially with mental health. But it’s not one thing or the other. It’s all of it. Oncology Endocrinology Mental health Cardiac and skin health on one patient-$39 Meanwhile UCC does the GP-skimming of an URTI $200 per head

Dear Santa, I would like to put in my Christmas List as a GP with many, many years experience. I don't need much, but my patients do. Here's my list

So Dutton has got his result. What a gross, irresponsible disgrace he is, the swill of the sewer. Please RT if you agree. abc.net.au/news/2024-01-1…

79F fell in post office. Sore ribs multiple skin flaps elbow knee shins.Nurses cleaned wounds. I Reviewed chest. No # so reassured. 4 silicone wafers $24. 6 island foams $24. 3 bandages $18. Dr <6 mins. Only legal BB(new rules)= Short $18.95. We lost $47. Shame Mark Butler MP

I forgot to include $40 nurse wages and other on costs. We should be able to claim the same back end support as GP Urgent CC. Providing this unbooked ED style care is essential. We donate this at present. Its wrong

Why don’t you pay our practice to see these acutely ill people the same back end payment you give the acute clinics? We open 8-85 days and Saturday till 4

Our GP clinic does the same work but as we don’t get the large back end funding to support UC Clinics we have to charge. If Medicare was adequately supporting General Practice these would not be needed

Internet, time to do your thing Let’s make old mate famous!

‘This budget has dropped the ball for Australians struggling to afford essential healthcare, and it’s a huge disappointment for GPs, practice teams, and our patients.’ racgp.org.au/gp-news/media-…

#Budget2024 #Auspol2024 For the average Australian; this budget does worse than nothing to improve access to health care. No #medicare increase to see your GP (average gap now $44). No measures to increase GP numbers. Access will get worse. Well done Australian Labor

Visit of Chris Minns to Newcastle today. Payroll tax on GP visits about to cause chaos in John Hunter Hospital as Bulk Billing disappears locally.
