The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

As at 30 September 2011 there were 15 operational clinics.

The Department of Health and Ageing provides presentation data from GP Super Clinics at an aggregated level rather than releasing data at the individual Clinic level. At times there are only one or two operational Clinics in a State or Territory which would make data at this level identifiable to a specific Clinic.

From 1 August 2011 to 30 September 2011 there were approximately 94,000 presentations to GPs at the 15 GP Super Clinics that were already operational or commenced operations during this period.

From 1 August 2011 to 30 September 2011 there were approximately 27,000 presentations to nurses and allied health professionals at the 15 GP Super Clinics that were already operational or commenced operations during this period.

From 1 August 2011 to 30 September 2011 there were approximately 34,000 presentations to GPs at the 11 GP Super Clinics that were providing early services during all or some of this period.

From 1 August 2011 to 30 September 2011 there were approximately 11,000 presentations to nurses and allied health professionals at the 11 GP Super Clinics that were providing early services during all or some of this period.
