My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator Gallagher. There are now 47 Medicare urgent care clinics open across Australia. These clinics are designed to enable Australians to access urgent care in a primary care setting rather than attending a hospital emergency department. Could the minister provide the Senate with an update on recent clinic openings, how many people are using the centres across Australia and how these clinics are helping Australians to access urgent health care when they need it?
