Medical practices in Tasmanian regional towns are suffering due to the modified Monash model. The medical practice at Lilydale is only 100 metres outside the 'medium rural town' boundary and the practice in New Norfolk falls inside the 'regional centre' boundary. This makes it harder for these practices to recruit medical practitioners. If there is no review of the model, would the government consider case-by-case assessments to help practices in regional areas?
