I move:
That the following matter be referred to the Community Affairs References Committee for inquiry and report by 5 December 2017:
The availability and accessibility of diagnostic imaging equipment around Australia, with particular reference to:
(a) geographic and other disparities in access to diagnostic imaging equipment;
(b) arrangements for Commonwealth subsidy of diagnostic imaging equipment and services;
(c) out-of-pocket costs for services that are not subsidised by the Commonwealth and the impact of these on patients; and
(d) the respective roles of the Commonwealth, states and other funders in ensuring access to diagnostic imaging services.
