Mark McGowan accused (again) of trashing GPs over hospital crisis
College president Adjunct Professor Karen Price says it’s groundhog day with GPs copping flak over low bulk-billing rates from WA Premier
The RACGP has hit back at WA Premier Mark McGowan for blaming much of the state’s hospital crisis on GPs who had stopped bulk-billing and refused to see respiratory patients.
Mr McGowan was defending WA’s health system, which he said had also been hit by furloughed staff, an increase in respiratory syncytial virus in children, and problems in recruiting overseas trained medical staff.
