The federal government is being accused of misleading the public about its rollout of a pilot program to attract more GPs to rural areas, amid calls to "get on" with a permanent nationwide expansion of the model.
The New South Wales minister for regional health, Bronnie Taylor, says she is "disappointed" in a federal decision to expand what's known as the single-employer model for GPs in Tasmania and not NSW, despite her calling for it since late last year.
