My question is to the health minister. The rural doctor shortage crisis is having devastating consequences for the health of our residents in central-western New South Wales. Gulgong no longer has any doctors, practices in communities like Mudgee, Molong and Canowindra have closed their books to new patients, and it takes two months to see a doctor in Wellington. What are you doing to fix his appalling situation, and will you personally visit our region and meet with local doctors and concerned residents to see the shocking effects this crisis is having?
