On the morning the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) released their report card indicating a dire need for incentives to attract and retain general practice doctors to rural and regional Australia, the Liberal member for Grey in western South Australia spoke with FlowFM listeners about his efforts particularly in the northern Eyre Peninsula, and the imminent demise of mandatory participation in the Cashless Debit Card trial in Ceduna
(NOTE: The figure the RACGP indicated on Wednesday morning was in fact closer to $70-80,000 in cost to attract doctors to regional areas, not the $20,000 recalled in the interview)
