When I referred to the expansion of the Defence Force health care program, I said I announced last week that the trial would be extended to two other communities; I should have said three. Those are Puckapunyal, Townsville and Darwin. The trials to Townsville, Darwin and Puckapunyal will start in the first half of the next financial year.
