Doctors cry foul after nurse walk-in centres win urgent care clinic funding
Initially, one GP will work across five nurse clinics, Canberra Health Services says.
Doctors have accused public nurse-led clinics of “hiding a GP out the back” to secure extra funding as Medicare urgent care clinics.
The Federal Government’s $250 million pledge to fund 50 urgent care clinics was touted as a boost for existing GP practices, who could apply for funding to help them treat minor burns or broken bones outside normal business hours.
