  1. I hope bulk billing will be available at the after-hours clinic.

  2. Great news, and it sounds like a really good model. Well done GPs and Barwon Medicare Local.

    Would have been nice if the CAH board had tried consulting with these people before deciding to close Urgent Care some months ago.

    The only thing left is for the board to be big enough to admit they made a mistake; a terrible mistake; a mistake the community was and is not willing to tolerate. They should do the right thing and out their seats up for nominations and elections at the latest with the next council elections. Then we should at last have a happy end of story.
