The $24m white elephant: Just 20 doctors share fees on govt’s cost-finder website

Almost five years and $24 million of taxpayers’ cash later, only 20 doctors are sharing their fees on the Federal Government’s much touted Medical Costs Finder website.
The revelation came during a budget estimates hearing, as Senator David Pocock questioned why surgeries were more expensive in the ACT than other states.
