And there, set out in black and white in the mid year budget update (MYEFO) today, is the punch line of the so-called Australian aged care reform. The government is banking on saving $18.8 billion over 10 years from the aged care budget.

How are different types of social connection associated with mortality? Something we at @UofGlasgow answer in our paper https://t.co/9MorR1wict …

As @7NewsBrisbane reports - this is a proud day for GPs, practice teams and the patients we care for. Following the Qld Government's announcement, patients in my home state won't be slugged with higher patient fees. The ball is now in the court of the other states. #PatientTax

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

Great news! The Qld Govt has announced that GP services will not be subject to extra payroll tax – a move that will help keep essential general practice care affordable. As a Queensland GP and practice owner, I know this is a win for GPs, practice teams and patients. #PatientTax

The @ANAO_Australia is conducting a performance audit of the @healthgovau management of the Primary Health Network program. That might include engagement of #paramedicine & other #AHPs in #multidisciplinary #primary care. Closes 26 Nov 2023. https://t.co/wmmgSXKvhI

The Board had a choice of ban or regulate, I suspect in a decade or so the ban choice will be condemned as naive. New telehealth guidelines ushered in https://t.co/c6EsPPYTO1

A growing number of Victorian families are putting off seeing their GPs, as out of pocket costs soar. It’s placing extra pressure on already overwhelmed hospitals, as more patients seek free medical care. https://t.co/5zYfOfGqUb @emma_os #7NEWS

Stop that false narrative Stephen. Of all people you know it's not Doctors pay.

It's patients subsidy its their tax that's not meeting the can't/gaps of care anywhere. Not to physios OTs dieticians or Doctors.

Dental care for the vulnerable?

Come on. Let's get real.

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

The headline says it all. As Katie Snow, Yousuf Ahmad and I told ⁦@MeljCunningham⁩ - rural and regional areas are being hit hardest by Australia’s GP workforce crisis and many patients can’t find a bulk-billing clinic. Change is needed. #GP #Medicare https://t.co/Cy21uky2e1
