GP Access is effective, efficient, economical and saves Australia's health system millions

CRUCIAL SERVICE: GP Access saves Australia's health system millions, Richard Anicich says.

In handing down last week the much-anticipated Legislative Council report from the inquiry into "Health outcomes and access to health and hospital services in rural, regional and remote NSW", the committee chair said "the delivery of health services in NSW is a joint responsibility between the Australian and NSW governments.

In simple terms, the Australian Government is responsible for the provision of GP services, and the state government responsible for the public hospital system".
