I strongly support this push for better funding for longer GP consults.

The ACT has the lowest bill billing rate in the country and more support for longer consults is key to turning that around while also ensuring better healthcare for women.

Longer consults already attract a smaller rate of funding per minute than shorter consults. The gap is set to widen despite additional funding.
