GPs call for funding boost in COVID-19 aftermath

GPs from a large corporate bulk-billing group have called on the Federal Government to continue to support and fund general practice in a “post-COVID” world.
Doctors from Cornerstone Health have written an open letter which has been published in a full-page advertisement in the Financial Review newspaper.
The letter highlights the important “frontline” role GPs played during the pandemic, as they have done in many other areas of health.
Signed by four GPs and the corporate’s founder and CEO, Henry Bateman, the ad ran on Wednesday 3 June and Tuesday 9 June.
