So, the Federal Government, with placid agreement of the RACGP, wants to revamp general practice and introduce patient registration. 

Why? Because the current model of general practice funding in Australia is broken? Yes, it is, but who broke it and are the suggested changes really going to fix it? 

What is the government trying to achieve? Better patient outcomes or better control of general practice costs?

The college president says patient registration will work if the system is properly funded.
