So, should all GP practices be subject to some form of mandatory accreditation?

The non-news is that not everyone agrees on the answer and it is a probably a debate that won’t go away.

Last month, NSW authorities discovered a GP clinic in Sydney was using out-of-date vaccines apparently stored in a household fridge.

None of the national vaccine storage guidelines were being followed, so now there is a public health alert and an attempt to track down 3000 patients who had been administered vaccines at the practice since 2010 — the last time the practice had been accredited.
