Many GPs forgot about the Federal Government’s promise to axe the $130 team care arrangement item back in 2023, until last month’s news that the axe would swing on 1 November.
The items have long been seen as a headache — an exercise in red tape and form filling rather than a mechanism to fund care that patients need.
